Interests:
Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care - I am one of four pediatric critical care faculty members who specialize in the care of the post-operative pediatric patient with congenital heart disease. This area of pediatric intensive care requires specialized care due to the unusual anatomy and physiology of these patients. Also, many of these patients require several operations to repair their heart disease and the continuity of care provided by a dedicated team of physicians is very important. Physicians referring patients for repair of congenital heart disease often prefer to send their patients to a program with a dedicated intensive care unit team. The cardiac surgeons and cardiologists we work with also benefit from the specialized team. They know each cardiac intensive care physician well and we have developed a very good working relationship with them.
Transport Medicine - Since becoming the medical director of the pediatric transport team and Christus Santa Rosa Children‘s Hospital I have obtained specialized training in transport medicine. I have attended conferences arranged by organizations such as the Air Medical Physicians Association and The American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Transport Medicine. Through these meetings I have obtained specialized knowledge pertaining to transport medicine including the effects of altitude on the critically ill patient, transport safety issues related to ground versus air transport, organizing and maintaining an efficient and competent transport service, outreach strategies and the development of interhospital communication and relations. I have used this specialized knowledge to educate the nurses, respiratory therapists, students, residents, fellows, and my colleagues.
