Dr. Robert H. Friesen, (1946-) Professor of Anesthesiology, Children's Hospital Colorado, University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, has played a pivotal and pioneering role in the development of pediatric and congenital cardiac anesthesiology. His transformative research included the study of the hemodynamic effects of inhalational and intravenous anesthetic agents in the newborn and the effects of anesthetic agents on pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with pulmonary hypertension. As a model clinician-scientist, educator, and administrator, he changed the practice of pediatric anesthesia and shaped the careers of hundreds of physicians-in-training, imbuing them with his core values of honesty, integrity, and responsibility. Based on a series of interviews with Dr. Friesen, this article reviews a career that advanced pediatric and congenital cardiac anesthesia during the formative years of the specialties.
罗伯特·H·弗里森博士（1946年至今）是科罗拉多大学安舒茨医学校区科罗拉多儿童医院麻醉学教授，在儿科和先天性心脏麻醉学的发展中发挥了关键的先驱作用。他具有变革性的研究包括对新生儿吸入和静脉麻醉剂的血流动力学效应以及麻醉剂对肺动脉高压患者肺血管阻力的影响的研究。作为一名模范临床科学家、教育家和管理人员，他改变了儿科麻醉的实践方式，塑造了数百名住院医师的职业生涯，向他们灌输了诚实、正直和责任等核心价值观。基于对弗里森博士的一系列访谈，本文回顾了他在这些专业形成期推动儿科和先天性心脏麻醉发展的职业生涯。
