Kevin Smith is an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesia at McMaster University, specializing in anesthesiology and critical care medicine. His research focuses on airway management and respiratory physiology, particularly the anatomical relationships between the cricoid cartilage and esophagus during emergency procedures.
Smith's scholarly activity includes two peer-reviewed publications from 2002 and 2003 in Anesthesiology and Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, both highlighting the variability in cricoid-esophageal alignment and its implications for airway management. These works have been referenced in clinical guidelines and Wikipedia pages, with a modest readership on Mendeley.
His research interests span the application of magnetic resonance imaging in airway assessment, emergency intubation protocols, and anatomical considerations for preoperative evaluations. While no active grants are listed in the VIVO database, his collaborative network includes Julian Dobranowski, Alezandre Dauphin, and Gordon Yip.
