Dr. Lloyd Ray Duncan

Lloyd Ray Duncan is an anaesthesia researcher associated with the University of the Witwatersrand, contributing to scholarship in paediatric anaesthetic practice. His work is situated within academic clinical anaesthesia, with a particular focus on perioperative safety and airway management in children. Duncan’s research reflects engagement with real-world clinical decision-making in hospital settings.

His published study in Children examines current practices in paediatric rapid sequence induction, highlighting variations in technique, medication choice, and airway management strategies among anaesthetists. The work underscores how clinician experience and training influence procedural approaches, especially in high-risk aspiration scenarios and age-specific populations.

Based on the limited available publications at present, Duncan’s scholarship centers on improving understanding of paediatric RSI practices and promoting evidence-informed standardisation. His contribution lies in documenting contemporary clinical patterns and encouraging critical reflection on safety, consistency, and expertise in paediatric anaesthesia.
