Part II:            Research, Teaching, and Clinical Contributions

 

A:  Narrative Report of Clinical Practice:

 

Brigham and Women’ Hospital:

 

            As a fellow in Obstetric anesthesia, I was a team leader in assigning day to day clinical responsibilities to residents in the labor and delivery section as well as operating room division.  In addition, I was actively involved in the provision of anesthesia care to high risk obstetric patients as well as patients requiring In-vitro-fertilization.

 

            At the conclusion of obstetric anesthesia training, I was appointed as staff anesthesiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital.  Major responsibility includes provision of anesthesia care (sub-specialty) to obstetric patients. Brigham and Women's being a high risk obstetric referral center, a substantial number patients fall into high risk category requiring anesthesia care during delivery. Recently, a new dimension to obstetric anesthesia care has been added, which is providing care to patients undergoing in-uterus fetal surgery.   

 

            In addition to subspecialty care of obstetric anesthesia, a portion of time is spent in providing anesthesia care in main operating rooms, which includes general surgical, thoracic and vascular patients, as well to patients out side of main operating room in areas such as in MRI and CT scan.

 

            As a member of transfusion committee, I was actively involved with other members in revising and implementing several policies in compliance with JACHO to enhance safety of transfusions in various circumstances. A protocol to facilitate rapid delivery of blood products to the obstetric operating rooms for hemorrhagic emergencies was facilitated during my tenure.

           

As a member of ‘Brigham and Women’s Physician Organization Recognition Award Committee’, I was required to select the most highly qualified and deserving candidate for an award in each category from several nominations received.

 

I have been appointed as Clinical Director for the department of Anesthesiology in October 2008. This is multifaceted job that includes overseeing day to day clinical anesthesia operations, scheduling anesthesiologists to various locations (45), managing welfare of over 200 anesthesiology staff, residents and fellows, approval of vacations, scheduling  proper anesthesiologists for complex cases, resolving disputes between various groups in the operating rooms,  monitoring a variety of personality conflicts and behaviors, establishing short term and long term strategies for improving the overall anesthesia delivery services,  attending several interdisciplinary meetings, and strategic planning committee meetings. I have already implemented several changes in the clinical operations. This includes, revamping of day sheet, automatic insertion of call schedule in day sheets, organizing the anesthesiology command center with wide screen display monitors, establishing the need for centralization of anesthesia work room, suggesting changes to post anesthesia care unit (to be built), addition of late resident schedule to the main operating schedule, and enhancing safety of out of the operating room anesthesia locations.

 

I also function as anesthesiologist in-charge for 45 operating room locations being covered by residents, fellows and staff anesthesiologists. The clinical duties include providing advice and backup where needed, and generally the first person to be called upon when anesthesia problems occur. In addition, it involves huge responsibility of coordinating surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists and technical force. Several times, it is also required to intervene and prevent personality and management conflicts that are expected to arise when managing such a large group of operating location personnel.

b.                  Professional and educational leadership role:

 

Consultant assignment to Government of St Lucia:

 

A part of a two member team invited by Government of St. Lucia for investigating bizarre cases of post-anaesthesia facial swelling in several patients.  A systematic interview of anaesthesiologists, nurses and technicians was conducted in addition to examination of anaesthetic practice, sterilization of non-disposable equipment and anaesthesia machines.  The problem was traced to airways and non-disposable endotracheal tubes.  The airways were sterilized using cidex for 30 minutes, which was followed by inadequate water washing and soaking (approx. 10 min). The problem was easily rectified by thorough washing, rinsing, and soaking in water twice the duration of glutaraldehyde contact.

4.                  www.Capnography.com

            A website on capnography has been designed, produced and maintained with no sponsorship to provide a complete review on end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring during anesthesia and intensive care. This site uses several animations designed to explain underlying physical and physiological concepts of capnography in addition to highlighting clinical applications. This is an "All-In-One" on capnography. This capnography website has been reviewed by independent reviewers in "Anesthesiology (October 2001), British Journal of Anesthesia (October 2001), Journal of Neurosurgical anesthesiology (October 2001), Canadian Journal of Anesthesia (April 2003). It has been summarized as a great teaching contribution on capnography and being more advantageous than a text book.

5.         Web based patient education:  www.painfreebirthing.com

            Designed, programmed, and produced a website for pregnant women on pain free child birth options. This is the first site to use computer animation graphics to explain concepts of pain free child birth. The patients can access the information at home or in the labor and delivery suites equipped with computer Internet access such as ours. This patient educational website was demonstrated at a recently concluded Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology.
