Dr. Jean-Pierre Estèbe

Abstract

It is with great sadness that we heard of the death of Dr Jean-Pierre Estèbe, French anesthesiologist, on the 16th of March 2021.

Jean-Pierre Estèbe was born in 1955. He started his medical studies in Rennes, France in 1975 and continued with training in anesthesia-intensive care, primarily wanting to become an intensivist.

He was passionate about his job, spending his energy on two fronts: pain and loco-regional anesthesia, problems within and the relevant fundamental research; more specifically the prolongation of analgesia with local anesthetics, which were finalized by a university thesis in 2001.
