ABSTRACT
Dr David Ryan Cook, Professor Emeritus of Anesthesiology and Pharmacology at the University of Pittsburgh and Chief of Anesthesiology at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (1977-1999), is a pioneer in the field of pediatric anesthesiology and pharmacology. Dr Cook contributed significantly to the understanding of pharmacologic differences among infants, children, and adults. His work as a clinician-scientist, educator, and mentor defined the pharmacology of many of the anesthetic agents we continue to use today. He brought science to the art of anesthesia and enhanced the safety of pediatric perioperative care. Based on a 2017 interview with Dr Cook, this article outlines the development of his career and his contributions to the field of anesthesiology and pharmacology.
