Jacob Hutchins, MD

I completed my anesthesia residency in 2011 and a cardiothoracic anesthesia fellowship in 2012. Since then, I have worked to develop the Perioperative and Interventional Pain Service on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota Medical Center campus and will be doing the same on the West Bank campus and pediatric hospital starting in October 2014. We have done extensive research into the clinical effects of both TAP blocks and paravertebral blocks on patients post operative pain control opioid use, and length of stay. At the same time, we are improving the satisfaction of patients after surgery.
