Educational Overview: CoreandElectiveRotations • The ACGME requires all fellows in Anesthesiology Critical Care Medicine to complete 9 months of adult critical care. • Each fellow will spend approximately 7 months in the Thornton & Sulpizio CVC ICU. The patient population consists of complex Cardiovascular, Thoracic, Neurosurgical, General Surgical, Urologic, Gynecologic, & Orthopedic Patients. • Fellows may complete their additional critical care requirement in the neuro, medical, burn, or surgical/ trauma ICUs.
Educational Overview: CoreandElectiveRotations • Fellows spend a total of 3 monthsofelective time eitheron corollary serviceswithrelevanceto critical care(e.g.InfectiousDisease,Cardiology, Palliative Care,) or completing original research • Individualized electives may also be developed by the fellow • Fellows are expected to complete both an academic project and a quality improvement project during the year
Educational Overview (cont.). Expectations & Goals • Theprimary goalof thecorefellowshiptraining is toprovidethe fellowwithclinicalexperienceinthemanagement of critically illsurgicaland medical patients. • Fellows will gain extensive experience managing heart and lung transplant patients, ventricular assist devices, total artificial heart, and extracorporeal circulation. • Our fellowsalsodevelopexpertisein coordinatingamultidisciplinary team, andinallof thecommonprocedures usedinCCM. • TraininginEchocardiography& Bronchoscopy willbe specifically emphasized& providedtoallfellows.
Echocardiography Training • Our flourishing cardiovascular program provides our fellows with opportunities to become proficient in both TTE and TEE. • Bedside teaching as well as electives in both modalities are available. • Fellows will attend the 3 day UCSD Perioperative TEE Review Course/Conference • at no charge
Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB) Training • FOBTrainingandexperience is one of theCoreCCMProceduresthat will bemasteredbyACCMFellows. • All Facultyareproficient in FOBuse andteaching. • Inaddition,Dr.JonathanBenumof, “originatoroftheASADifficult Airway Algorithm”,will teachFOB techniques in hisDifficult AirwayLab. • AnAirwaySimulator is available. • All Fellows will becomeexpert bronchoscopists.
Research Opportunities • All Fellows will participate in clinical research including planning of a project, production of IRB proposal, and eventual presentation of research findings. • Research topics explored by previous fellows include: • Effect of positive pressure ventilation on diastole as measured by echocardiography • Effect of blood transfusion on SVO2 in post-cardiac surgery patients • Long-term outcomes following SICU • Admission • CCM Faculty will closely assist the fellows in all aspects of research.
Current Research Projects • Dr. Kistler– Analysis of the changes in hemodynamics and oxygen delivery in response to blood transfusions in the ICU. Shock and inflammation, with particular focus on the bowel. • Dr Meier - Investigations on how sedatives and pain • medications modify the immune response. • Dr. Nguyen – Long Term Outcomes Following Surgical ICU Stay. • Dr. O’Brien - Investigating the effects of neuraxial • sympathectomyon cardiac function in term parturients. • Dr. Schmidt – Investigating the value of high intensity interventions in the critical care setting.
Eligibility Criteria and Application Process • The EligibilityCriteria ForACCMFellowshipareasfollows: • Board certification (or eligibility) in Anesthesiology by the ABA (or equivalent ifnon-American trained.) • Possess (or be eligible for) a California medical license (must have current license in State of Residence at time of application.) • Havecertification in ACLS (or equivalent.)
