Clinical Specialty Details
My area of clinical expertise is Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology-care of patients presenting for Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery.
I am skilled in the perioperative management of patients presenting for:
1. Cardiac surgery.
2. Thoracic surgery
3. Vascular Surgery
4. Electrophysiology lab procedures
5. General Surgical procedures
Development of Clinical Programs & Performance improvement in patient care:
1) Development of Departmental Guideline 2019- In 2019, I developed a Departmental guideline for the intraoperative management of patients undergoing procedures in the electrophysiology laboratory (EP lab), titled “Anesthetic Considerations for Electrophysiology (EP) Procedures.” This is the guideline used by residents, fellows, faculty and CRNAs working in the EP lab. |
2) Development of anesthetic protocol 2020 - I am currently collaborating with a colleague on development of a Cardiac Anesthesiology protocol for the Intraoperative Management of Lung Transplant recipients |
3) QI Project 2020 - I am currently collaborating with a colleague on a QI project in lung transplant recipients postoperatively in the ICU. |
