Kim Ekelund

Kim Ekelund serves as Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Anaesthesiology within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Based at Blegdamsvej 3 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Dr. Ekelund maintains active clinical and research roles in obstetric anaesthesia with email contact kim.ekelund@sund.ku.dk and phone +4527285042.

Research focuses on obstetric anaesthesia complications, particularly epidural failure management and maternal mental health biomarkers. Key projects include ESAIC clinical guidelines development, ultrasound-guided procedure phantoms, and simulation-based training evaluation. Recent work integrates predictive modeling for labour dystocia and educational interventions for anaesthesia trainees.

Current publications demonstrate strong emphasis on translational clinical research bridging anaesthesiology, obstetrics, and medical education. The 2025 ESAIC guidelines represent international consensus work, while biomarker studies explore novel physiological connections between pregnancy and mental health.

Dr. Ekelund actively collaborates across European institutions, evidenced by multi-center publications and international guideline development. Current research networks include anaesthesiology departments across Scandinavia and ESAIC working groups.
