Research Interests🔬
Dr. Sinton’s research focuses on pediatric perioperative physiology with a strong emphasis on autonomic regulation and innovative perioperative interventions. He has led projects measuring heart rate dynamics in children with Down syndrome, exploring autonomic nervous system contributions during anesthesia, surgery, and recovery. Another interest is developing augmented-reality-based interventions to reduce postoperative opioid use and pain in pediatric cancer patients. His current work examines the effects of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors on sympathetic activity and perioperative hemodynamics in pediatric cardiac surgery patients. Additionally, he investigates predictors and autonomic determinants of neurocardiogenic syncope. By combining physiological monitoring, innovative technologies, and clinical trials, Dr. Sinton aims to personalize perioperative care and reduce complications, driving advances in pediatric anesthesiology.
