Research

The research rotation is of one month duration, divided into two 15-day blocks. Each fellow will have an assigned mentor who is usually a member of the Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology faculty. The Cardiac Anesthesiology fellow will have a defined project and will be expected to submit findings for presentation at a national meeting, typically the SCA annual meeting.

Areas of active investigation in the division include:

  1. Inflammatory mediated coagulopathy and hemostasis management
  2. Outcomes research in cardiac surgery
  3. Enhanced Recovery after Cardiac Surgery (ERACS)
  4. Renal failure in cardiac surgery.
  5. Use of ECMO in the peripartum period
  6. Xenotransplantation

Members of the division have received recent grant funding from both industry and foundations including the SCA, APSF, FAER and NIH National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
