Description of Clinical Expertise

26a I am a practicing cardiac anesthesiologist and critical care physician. I am board certified in Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, and Advanced Perioperative Echocardiography. In my daily clinical practice I care for patients undergoing a variety of cardiothoracic surgeries including cardiac valve, thoracic, aortic, heart transplant, lung transplant and coronary artery bypass graft surgeries. I am an advocate of the selective use of real-time, intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic imaging to facilitate the perioperative care of cardiac surgery patients.

Description of Research Expertise

2b0 My research expertise includes comparative effectiveness studies in echocardiography using large datasets and developing predictive algorithms using nonlinear, machine learning techniques. My work on the clinical utility and variability of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cardiac surgery has resulted in publications in leading clinical journals including: JAMA Network Open, Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography (JASE), Annals of Thoracic Surgery (ATS), and the British Journal of Anaesthesia Open. I have an ongoing interest in using data to study perioperative research questions in the field of Anesthesiology and Critical Care.
