Development of any Clinical Programs

1982-1983	Establishment of Intensive Care Unit, Linden, Guyana, South America I established a four-bed Intensive Care Unit at Guyana Mining Enterprise Limited Hospital, Linden, Guyana to serve the local community. The Intensive Care Unit was inaugurated by the Health Minister of Guyana and dedicated to the community. The local newspaper carried the new story of its development. I trained nurses via theory and practical teaching sessions. The unit successfully treated patients with Myasthenia Gravis, surgical, and medical patients.
1986	Flow requirements for Bain breathing circuit during anaesthesia for Caesarean section This is the first study to determine the flow rates required during general anesthesia for cesarean delivery using Bain breathing system to maintain normocarbia of pregnancy rather than in advertently lowering the maternal arterial carbon dioxide. The results of this study helps clinicians to avoid unintentional hypocarbia that can decrease uterine artery blood flow (Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 33(5):583-7).
1986	End-tidal carbon dioxide tension reflects arterial carbon dioxide tension This is the first study to show that end-tidal carbon dioxide tension reflects arterial carbon dioxide tension. The clinical impact of this study is prevention of hyperventilation resulting in lower arterial carbon dioxide tension that could result in decreased uterine blood flow. This study also showed that negative arterial to end-tidal gradients can occur in pregnant women. Although once considered impossible to occur, negative gradients do occur during anesthesia in pregnant women. A physiological explanation is provided based on the pregnancy induced changes in respiratory and cardiovascular physiology (Anaesthesia, 41:698-70). The occurrence of negative arterial to end-tidal gradients has been subsequently confirmed by many investigators, and they offer the explanation provided from our work.
1987	End-tidal carbon dioxide tension in the post partum period A subsequent study in post partum women also confirmed that the respiratory physiology in the immediate postpartum period is similar to that during pregnancy (Anaesthesia, 42:482-6).
1987	Cause of decreased arterial to end-tidal carbon dioxide difference in pregnant women For the first time, the cause of the decreased arterial to end-tidal carbon dioxide difference in pregnant women was determined to be due to a decrease in alveolar dead space during pregnancy (Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 34(4):373-6).
1987-1993 1997-1993	Innovative improvement in Barbados During my anesthesia practice in Barbados, I was the key member to address several vital problems that are unique and inherent to small developing nations. To mention few, the disposable components of anesthesia machines were imported into Barbados. An unpredictable shortage of disposable equipment led to cancellation of cases. We created a database of all anesthesia equipment using DBASE software to track the use of disposables. An order was placed as soon as a critical number was reached for each component. This resulted in enormous savings as the items were ordered on an as needed basis in order to prevent excessive stocking. Barbados is a high humidity environment. When we installed oxygen concentrators in lieu of oxygen cylinders of piped oxygen supply, excessive water vapor condensed along the pipelines and made way into anesthesia machines. We designed innovative water traps along the oxygen pipelines to trap water vapor, and this solved the issue. I reviewed specific inherent problems of small developing nations and proposed solutions in a peer reviewed article ‘Anesthesia in Barbados’. I was a key member during the rebirthing phase of an entire operating room complex spearheaded by the Ministry of Health in conjunction with the World Bank. The design concepts and innovative changes mentioned above are still in existence, and the anesthesia staff in Barbados acknowledges my contribution even to this date. Should air-oxygen replace nitrous oxide-oxygen in general anaesthesia. During my tenure in Barbados, we were confronted with a shortage of nitrous oxide on the island. At the time, it was customary to cancel cases due to fear of awareness if anesthesia is giving without nitrous oxide. Therefore, a study was conducted to demonstrate that nitrous oxide can be safely omitted during routine anesthesia without fear of producing awareness. Performing general anesthetic procedures without nitrous oxide has become a norm of today. (Anaesthesia, 1987, 42(6):609-12).
1990	Consultant, Government of St. Lucia A part of a two member team invited by the 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.
1999	Dual capnography facilitates detection of a critical perfusion defect in an individual lung For the first time, the concept of dual capnography was described and employed during anesthesia to evaluate the ventilation/perfusion status of each lung. A simple sampling technique of expired gases from each lung facilitates the assessment of ventilation/perfusion status of each lung independently (Anesthesiology, 90(1):302-4). This helps physicians to identify a major pulmonary perfusion defect in a lung.
2000	Respiratory and cardiovascular physiology in pregnant women undergoing laparoscopic surgery The need to address respiratory and cardiovascular physiology in pregnant women undergoing laparoscopic surgery became a necessity due to concerns of fetal compromise. Based on earlier studies in pregnant ewes, it was suggested that arterial blood gas measurements were required for pregnant women undergoing laparoscopic surgery for the fear of hypercarbia and consequent acidosis that is detrimental to the fetus. Our study was the first to prove that arterial blood gas analysis is not necessary and end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring is sufficient enough to monitor arterial carbon dioxide as it closely reflects arterial carbon dioxide. Because of this critical finding, anesthesiologists are confident enough to provide anesthesia for laparoscopic surgery in pregnant women using end-tidal carbon dioxide as a guide to predict arterial carbon dioxide levels in order to ensure fetal safety (Anesthesiology, 93(2):370-3).
2000	Defining segments and phases of a time capnogram I was the key member to initiate and develop a standard nomenclature to demarcate various components of capnograms. This nomenclature was deemed necessary for future clinical communication and research and is now adapted by many, including the Nunn’s Respiratory Physiology and the 2014 8^th Edition of Miller’s Anesthesia textbook. The study paper highlights the limitations of the current capnography devices and provides suggestions for the future direction of research and improvements. The concept of superimposing respiratory flow rate waveforms over capnograms to delineate the components of capnograms is already being implemented in some newer capnography devices (Anesth Analg., 91(4):973-7).
2001	Hemodynamics during laparoscopic surgery in pregnancy In order to address physician’s uncertainty of cardiac output changes during laparoscopic surgery in pregnancy, we studied the hemodynamic changes during these procedures. We proved that the decreases in cardiac output is similar (30% decrease) in pregnant as well as non-pregnant subjects undergoing laparoscopic surgery; however, ephedrine boluses were required to maintain blood pressures within the pre-induction blood pressure range (Anesth Analg., 93(6):1570-1).
2001	Website: www.Capnography.com My 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 educational website for anesthesiologists, clinicians, medical care providers, emergency ambulance personnel, engineers, medical students and manufacturers is freely accessible to professionals all over the world. It’s an "All-In-One" on capnography using several animations designed, frame by frame, by me to explain underlying physical and physiological concepts of capnography in addition to highlighting clinical applications. The website has many downloadable modules that professionals seek my permission to use in their hospital or institutional teaching curriculum. The site that has over 450,000 visits annually and is ranked first or second of 330,000 results on all web search engines. My continuous commitment to educating professionals includes periodically updating the site, answering email queries, and initiating discussions on the future of capnography in technology and applications. Capnography.com has been reviewed in many prominent anesthesiology and non-anesthesiology journals in the United States and Europe including the journal of Anesthesiology (October 2001), British Journal of Anesthesia (October 2001), Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology (October 2001), and Canadian Journal of Anesthesia (April 2003). It has been summarized as a great teaching contribution on capnography. For example, Professor Elizabeth Frost of the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York wrote in the Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, "It is an effective teaching tool for all residents and helpful for the clinician who wishes to better understand the disease process that generates abnormal waveforms. I believe that a candidate for the oral board examinations might well find that 15 minutes spent at this site shortly before the interview proves invaluable." Dr. C.J.R. Parker of the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, England, made the following comments in the British Journal of Anaesthesia: "There is lot of material on this site, and it is impossible to list all the good things. It will be a learning resource for students – and I will be recommending it. It may also become a forum for specialists. A web publisher can reach a potentially vast readership, and has the opportunity to create something quite different from a book, with the possibilities of animation and of interaction." Capnography.com was also reviewed in this nation's premiere anesthesia journal in the Journal Anesthesiology by Dr. J.M. Cusick, Director of Anesthesiology, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona and edited by Professor James C. Eisenach of Wake Forest University Hospital as follows: “Dr. Bhavani Shankar Kodali has put forth great effort to produce the equivalent of a capnography textbook and made it freely available on the Internet. The site provides a complete review of end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring during anesthesia and intensive care. In addition, his website provides animated graphics that are not possible to produce in a textbook and can greatly facilitate learning and therefore is recommended to students. Capnography.com is truly an ‘all-in-one’ for the subject of capnography.” Unsolicited accolades are left on the feedback page thanking me for providing such extensive and comprehensive information on capnography on the web for free. Some examples of unsolicited feedback include the following. “I am creating an educational power point to test for competency in Capnography for our facility. I would like to get permission to use some of the images in your presentations. Thank you.” “Excellent lecture for my residents and staff that need to learn about capnography for sedation. I would like to print out your powerpoint to give to my residents, if that would be OK. It has your name on it, and I would not claim it as my lecture...just want to be able to print it out 4 per page so they have something to take notes on. Thanks, Dr Bronk” “Brilliant site, previously used it for my part 1 ANZCA exam 2 years ago. Now using it for my final prep. first time at the new look edition of your site today.” “I am a Nursing Lecturer at Deakin University Melbourne Australia. I teach in the Post Graduate Nursing Masters program, particularly in the critical care nursing stream. I am putting together a PowerPoint audiovisual lecture for our post graduate students and am writing to request permission to use your fantastic animations of capnogram waveforms for educational purposes. I would have this available only to the students in our course in a secure site and of course acknowledge your work as yours. A link to your website would also be included in the lecture. If you are happy for me to use this material, could you please write back to this address? I do appreciate your time. Kind regards Gabby Burdeu” “Dear Dr. Kodali I hope you are well. I wonder if you could settle a query for us, please? I have just set a test for our anaesthesia residents and asked them about the physical principles underlying measurement of CO₂ in respired gases. All of them came back and described the Beer-Lambert Law. At first I thought they were just getting confused with pulse oximetry, but the more I mulled it over, the more I thought that the B-L law might actually be involved, and, on searching the www, a number of sites do say that the B-L law is used in capnography. However, the senior anaesthetists here continue to disagree, so we thought we'd consult the 'God of capnography'! Any help very gratefully appreciated. Best wishes Derek Derek Flaherty BVMS, DVA, DipECVAA, MRCA, MRCVS, FHEA Professor of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia RCVS and European Specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia Head of Veterinary Anaesthesia, Small Animal Hospital School of Veterinary Medicine, Bearsden Road, Glasgow” In addition to rave journal reviews and accolades from visitors to website, the site has been selected to be presented at society meetings and has received awards. The site was presented at the ASA annual meeting in 2001 and the Post Graduate Assembly at the New York Society of Anesthesiologists in 2002. The New York State Society of Anesthesiologists recognized the site with the Special Award at the 2004 annual meeting. Also, I received the Clinical Innovation Award from Brigham and Women’s Hospital Physician’s Organization (BWPO). Brigham and Women’s Hospital also recognized my contributions. When capnography became popular during CPR, BWH reached out to me to develop a HealthStream training program for medical residents. I also provided a similar CPR teaching module on my website for the benefit of all medical professionals.
2001	Effect of magnesium on coagulation in parturients with preeclampsia Magnesium is known to affect the coagulation process, and magnesium is commonly used in women with preeclampsia. This study showed that magnesium as used in preeclamptic women does not alter coagulation and therefore is safe to administer regional anesthesia. This study used thromboelastography to study coagulation (Anesth Analg, 92(5):1257-60).
2002-present	Website: www.painfreebirthing.com Designed, programmed, produced, and maintain an innovative 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, side effects, and complications. The patients can access the information at home or in the labor and delivery suites equipped with computer internet. This patient educational website has been demonstrated at several professional conferences, notably the annual SOAP meeting in 2006. Since then, the site has been translated into eleven languages. Translation of three more languages is in progress. Many educational institutions and private practice groups refer their patients to this website. Furthermore, some institutions request permission to use my material on their patient educational websites. The SOAP provides a link to this site on their patient education module. The British Journal of Anesthesia reviewed this website as a comprehensive resource on methods of labor analgesia. To quote, “Two years ago, we surveyed mothers who had received an epidural in labour to find out where they obtained information about the procedure. Most cited ‘magazines’ and ‘friends/family’; <3% had used the internet to find out about methods of pain relief in labour. Today, a far greater proportion of mothers‐to‐be have ready access to the internet. This has been accompanied by a proliferation of websites dedicated to providing information to mothers about methods of pain relief in labour: over 71 900 according to google.co.uk. The top ranked sites vary in quality enormously from the blatantly commercial to those produced by charitable organizations dedicated to providing independent information for mothers‐to‐be. Most of the latter take a fairly straightforward ‘glossy magazine’ approach to discussing the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of analgesic options, but do not go into too much detail. One notable exception is www.manbit.com/obstetspain/default.htm, which contains much useful information especially ‘in defence of epidurals’. However, this site is quite technical in nature and is more suitable for anaesthetic trainees than their patients. www.painfreebirthing.com addresses this ‘gap’ in the market by providing a fully comprehensive resource for those who wish to gain a fuller understanding of obstetric anaesthesia written in layman’s language. This site has the highest credentials, having been written by the academic department of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. It immediately sets itself aside from other websites by asking the user to ‘agree’ to terms and conditions of use before being allowed entry into the rest of the site. This device, familiar to anyone who has downloaded software, adds an authoritative feel to the website and emphasizes the serious nature of the learning contract between author and reader”.
2005	Effect of amniotic fluid on coagulation and platelet function in pregnancy: an evaluation using thromboelastography Because there was abundance of confusion on the mechanism of how amniotic fluid produces severe hemorrhage in pregnant women, we set out to prove that amniotic fluid is a strong prooagulant and results in consumption coagulopathy rather than excessive fibrinolysis. Furthermore, the study stresses that amniotic fluid embolism is always associated with an altered coagulation profile. If coagulation is normal, it may rule out amniotic fluid embolism. (Anaesthesia, 60(11):1068-72)
2006-present	Mandated capnography for reimbursement for laparoscopic surgeries in India For years, I have been advocating the use of capnography for monitoring during anesthesia as a means to enhance patient safety. I’m particularly passionate about making capnography a standard in anesthesia in my home country India and have dedicated a significant amount of my non-clinical time to educate anesthesia colleagues and administrators in India to recognize the value of capnography. These efforts paid dividends as many institutions now use capnography, even in the setting of small private practices. As a testimony to this, the State Government of Andhra Pradesh issued a notification that anesthesia and surgical fees will not be reimbursed if capnography and pulse oximetry are not used (India, Government of Andhra Pradesh Order, AST/775/F25/dated, September 2011). Currently, the President of the Indian Society of Anesthesiologists is pursuing the Government of India to issue duty-free status to capnography related equipment.
2008	Airway changes during labor This is the first study to show that labor is associated with airway changes in both visible and concealed portions of upper airway. This has relevance in the clinical management of pregnant women presenting for anesthesia during later stages of labor, or in the immediate postpartum period (Anesthesiology, 108(3):357-62). The significance of this study was highlighted in the editorial that accompanied this study. The editor of the journal Anesthesiology republished this paper as ‘Advancing Medicine in Anesthesiology’ in the last issue of the same year as he thought the study findings may change future clinical practice.
2008	Shapiro Work Room I was instrumental in establishing a work room in the Shapiro Area, the central location in the operating room (OR) complex, so that staff can obtain items expeditiously in case of emergency. The initial design approved prior to me taking over as Clinical Director did not have a provision for the above work room. Considerable forethought went into this project realizing the future needs of the clinicians performing complicated cases. Years later, the benefits are still appreciated by all.
2008	Anesthesia PACU office During the infrastructural design of the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), there was no plan for an Anesthesiology office. I negotiated for a redesign to include space for this office which allows anesthesiologists in charge of the PACU to be present at all times ensuring patient safety.
2008	Anesthesia Command Center The Anesthesiology Floor Leader is in charge and responsible for overseeing the flow of cases across the entire operating room complex and outside of the operating rooms (about 60 locations). To facilitate this role, there has to be a continuous flow of information regarding the status of each case in these areas. I instituted an Anesthesia Command Center (ACC) with Central Monitoring Screens so that the Anesthesiology Floor Leader can see at a glance the status of each case as it progresses. Furthermore the system notifies the call status of each anesthesiologist, and this is critical in effective staff deployment.
2008	Pipeline restructure Prior to my intervention, for more than 70 years, the oxygen and nitrous oxide pipelines hung from the ceiling onto the floor to be attached to the anesthesia machines. For decades, the anesthesiologists were stepping over the pipelines to cross to the other side. I asked special pendants to be installed to the wall so all the pipelines and electrical conduits go overhead to the anesthesia machines. One of the senior surgeons, who has been at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital for a long time, remarked that this is the best intervention he has observed in the operating room during his entire stay at this Institution.
2007-2008	Improved Anesthesia Technician work force Instituted a reliable anesthesia technician work force by revising the anesthesia technician’s job description and training them to help anesthesiologists start cases in a timely manner. The previous anesthesia technician group was not effectively trained therefore contributing to inefficiencies. Presently, the anesthesia technicians set the room ready to commence anesthesia induction.
2007-2017	Build up non-OR anesthesia locations to par with operating room standards The percentage of volume of cases being performed outside the operating room (OR) complex is increasing rapidly. One of my successful assignments is to bring all out of the operating room (OOR) locations to par with that of ORs. This has also resulted in the development of internal standards for anesthesia systems layout that is also being used in the proposed ‘Building of the Future’. This standardization of OOR locations has resulted in many Anesthesiologists volunteering to work OOR without hesitation.
2008-2017	Novel Improvements in Anesthesia Service Infrastructure: Improved the availability of CMACs (37 videolaryngoscopes) in the operating room as well as outside OR locations Organized the availability of CMACs and capnography monitoring to all codes (may be first in the country). Ensure that all non-OR cases have nursing coverage similar to OR standards Assist in streamlining preoperative preparation of non-OR cases (work in progress) With the collaboration of Hospital and Anesthesia departments, I took the initiative to remodel anesthesia call rooms, which were neglected for 20 years, for on-call residents and staff.
2008-2011	Established and implemented the Perioperative Information Management System (PIMS) project and facilitate training of 250 anesthesia staff and residents in PIMS from 2009 to 2011.
2009-2011	Established anesthesia services to Advanced Multimodality Image Guided Operating Suite (AMIGO), first of its kind in the nation.
2009-present	Mission to enhance obstetric anesthesia in India Another important goal of mine is to improve obstetric anesthesia in India. To this end, I have given numerous lectures, participated in countless discussions, and lead many training workshops. I regularly participate in the annual ‘Anesthesia Continuing Education for Residents Conference’ for approximately 900 residents at the Ramachandra Medical University (an affiliate of Harvard International) in Chennai, India, and in 2014, I gave the lecture ‘The future of anesthesia is in your hands: What are your obligations?’ at the Vijaylakshmi Kamat (former HMS faculty) Memorial Oration Lecture at the University. The University conferred me with ‘Visiting Professorship’ status and title recognizing my contribution to educational teaching programs for anesthesiology residents. Honoring my contribution to obstetric anesthesia and anesthesia monitoring and safety, the Association of Obstetric Anesthesiologists in India awarded me with the ‘Citation and Oration Medal’ at the 2012 New Delhi Annual Meeting. Additionally, I have been nominated to be the Scientific Advisor for the 2015 8^th National Conference of the Association of Obstetric Anesthesiologist and 1^st World Obstetric Anesthesiology Congress, India. Recently, I published a peer reviewed article entitled ‘Establishing an obstetric neuraxial service in low-resource areas’ which highlights important issues that are essential to practice safe obstetric anesthesia. These principles can be applied all over the world to enhance safe obstetric anesthesia. (Int J Obstet Anesth. 2014; 23(3):267-273).
2011	Improved collegial relations between nursing staff and anesthesia department members Masterminded a systematic approach to improve the relationships between members of the nursing and anesthesia departments to foster a harmonious working environment. In the long run, better relations and interpersonal behavior help improve overall OR efficiency. This team-building activity was initiated in 2011 with an annual get-together for breakfast. The nursing leadership recognized this novel team-building activity by adding a second get-together breakfast in September inviting new CA1s to make them feel at ease during residency commencement at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
2012-2017	New OR Complex I am currently a key participant in the designing phase of the new OR complex to be built in the next five years. I have provided several suggestions to improve the patient flow and addressed several shortcomings of the past.
2013	Capnography outside of operating rooms. Clinical Concept Commentary. Realizing the value of capnography outside of the operating rooms, I wrote a clinical concepts commentary explaining underlying applications of capnography OOORs to anesthesiologists as well clinicians and other clinical care providers (Anesthesiology, 118:192-201). As Anesthesiology recognized the value of this contribution, the editor made this clinical commentary available free to all readers from the date of publication. As per the Anesthesiology.org website (December 2^nd, 2014), this paper is ranked #1 or #2 in the most viewed category in Anesthesiology journal since 1999.
2013	Teaching modules on ‘Capnography outside of operating rooms’ I also made available teaching modules explaining the role of capnography during sedation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Capnography.com. These PowerPoint teaching modules can be downloaded for internal use in any Institution.
2013-2016	Clinical Lead for EPIC implementation I’m the Clinical Lead for EPIC implementation for anesthesiology services in the operating rooms in BWH as well as satellite locations Foxboro and Faulkner Hospitals. Given the size of our department of over 300 members, this enormous project requires in-depth planning and execution.
2014	Improving first case on time (FCOT) and first case in operating room (FCIR) starts Our study ‘Variability of Subspecialty-Specific Anesthesia-Controlled Times at Two Academic Institutions’ highlights the variations in Anesthesia-Controlled Times for each surgical specialty (J Med Syst., 38:11). These times are vital in the computation of the first case on time (FCOT) starts in a tertiary teaching center. The results enabled us to adjust FCOT based on each specific specialty. This was necessary since every specialty has different needs and preparations for intended surgery. This study benefitted us to understand delays in FCOTs, and I am a key member helping our institution achieve FCIR and FCOT targets close to institutional targets. As of March 2014, we are at FCIR to 88% and FCOT to 71% (up from 34% four to five years ago). This was done by encouraging anesthesia colleagues to achieve targets and receiving feedback from many members of the department. This way, every individual feels they are a key member of the entire process and are enabling to reach the set targets. The results were presented and also published for the benefit of other institutions (J Med Syst., 38:11).
2014	Successful Strategies for the Reduction of Operating Room Turnover Times in a Tertiary Care Academic Medical Center This study analyzes multidisciplinary factors decreasing turn over time (TOT). Operating room TOT is a complex process, and decreasing TOT is equally complex. We studied this process in depth, including sustainability of changes that decrease TOT (J Surg Res., 187:403-11). Some initiatives we studied helped to decrease TOT. We are currently in the process of implementing changes to attain sustainable improvements in decreasing TOT. The resulting article from this study was added to the comprehensive OR management bibliography (www.FranklinDexter.net/bibliography_TurnoverTimes.htm). Franklin Dexter, MD PhD Professor, Department of Anesthesia, University of Iowa Anesthesia & Analgesia, Statistical Editor and Section Editor for Economics Education, and Policy Consulting, on-line education, and the comprehensive OR management bibliography, www.FranklinDexter.net
2014	Transfusion Ratios for Postpartum Hemodilutional Coagulopathy: an In Vitro Thromboelastographic Model The current trend is to use high plasma to RBC ration during hemorrhage in trauma and major surgical patients associated with bleeding. Obstetric hemorrhage is no exception to this rule and therefore this strategy of high plasma to RBC ratio has been adapted in many institutions including ours. However, there is no prospective or laboratory studies to validate this hypothesis. We were the first to analyze this in an in-vitro study. This study shows that 1:1:1 RBC:Plasma:Platelets are more efficacious than the conventional 3:1 RBC:Plasma only in the presence of adequate platelet numbers. What is usually considered an adequate number of platelets, 50,000 /µL, is not adequate during hemorrhage and transfusions, and a platelet count closer to 100,000/ µL may be optimal. This study was an editor’s pick in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
2016	Combined Anesthesia / Surgical / Nursing Simulations After observing surgical operating room environments for 40 years, I have realized that mutual communication and respect among key groups is sparse. This is a universal observation I have made throughout my long career across different continents. This is most likely due to clinicians’ lack of understanding that ultimately team work results in successes rather than the general ‘all because of me’ myth. Moreover, medical curriculums do not include lessons on mutual respect and team behavior. A lack of team work and mutual respect has led to poor outcomes in surgical and medical practices. The CRICO organization also firmly believes that the lack of communication and mutual respect among care providers impedes the ability to function as one entity. I firmly believe that this training must occur during the residency training period. Therefore, I spearheaded a mission of facilitating simulation sessions where surgical and anesthesia residents, along with nurses participate jointly at the Stratus Center of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. This methodology promotes mutual respect, close loop communication, and team work among care providers very early in their training. Moreover, the team that participates in simulation exercises could be the same team that is involved in an actual crisis in the Institution. Two sessions successfully were completed, and tremendously positive feedback was the result. Further sessions will determine its ultimate success.
2016	Improved collegial relations between nursing staff and anesthesia department members has led to including surgeons to the casual breakfast get-together sessions. This year, realizing the benefit of the casual breakfast sessions started in 2011, the Chief Nursing Officer and Chairmen of Surgery and Anesthesiology have decided to extend the casual meeting between nurses and anesthesiologists to include surgeons. This is probably one of the greatest success stories fostering team work at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I hope that other Institutions in the world follow this process of fostering mutual respect and team work.
2018	Update many anesthesiology practices in the newly expanded obstetric service at University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore. Highlight is the introduction of Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus Labor Analgesia. This most advanced labor analgesia practice is current in this country.

Medical Coordinator for First International Barbados Marathon run, Barbados. Member of emergency medical team providing emergency care to participants of initial events of “International Marathon runner” competition in Barbados. Emergency care was necessary for several visitors who were extensively dehydrated due to lack of acclimatization to tropical climate. In later years, better acclimatization by the participants to tropical climate, and training of emergency physicians to provide care, did not require anaesthesia group participation.

Kodali, BS. (2001). 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 the Anesthesiology (October 2001), British Journal of Anesthesia (October 2001), Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology (October 2001), and Canadian Journal of Anesthesia (April 2003). It has been summarized as a great teaching contribution on capnography. The site, that has over 450,000 visits annually from healthcare and business professionals and engineering and medical students, is currently being compiled into a book on capnography. See Appendix I for details. 2001.
Kodali, BS. painfreebirthing.com Designed, programmed, produced, and maintain an innovative website for pregnant women on pain free child birth options. See ‘Clinical Innovations’ for more information. Designed, programmed, produced, and maintain an innovative 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, side effects, and complications. The patients can access the information at home or in the labor and delivery suites equipped with computer internet. This patient educational website has been demonstrated at several professional conferences, notable the annual SOAP meeting in 2006. Since then, the site has been translated into eleven languages. Translation of three more languages is in progress. Many educational institutions and private practice groups refer their patients to this website. The SOAP provides a link to this site on their patient education module. The British Journal of Anesthesia reviewed this website as a comprehensive resource on methods of labor analgesia. www.painfreebirthing.comaddresses a gap in the market by providing a fully comprehensive resource for those who wish to gain a fuller understanding of obstetric anaesthesia written in layman’s language. This site has the highest credentials, having been written by the academic department of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. It immediately sets itself aside from other websites by asking the user to ‘agree’ to terms and conditions of use before being allowed entry into the rest of the site. This device, familiar to anyone who has downloaded software, adds an authoritative feel to the website and emphasizes the serious nature of the learning contract between author and reader”. 2002.

Narrative Report:

My Area of Excellence is Clinical Expertise, Clinical Research and Innovation with Significant Supporting activities in Administration and Institutional service and Special Merit in Education.

Before assuming the current position as Professor of Anesthesiology at University of Maryland Medical Center, I served as Interim Chair while simultaneously fulfilling my duties as an Attending Anesthesiologist and Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs for the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. My experience encompasses 39 years in clinical anesthesia, 30 years in research, and 13 years in administrative leadership roles. I enthusiastically promote myself in the areas of clinical excellence, academic excellence, patient education, research, and administration and receive numerous honors and accolades in recognition of my unwavering commitment and invaluable contributions to anesthesiology.

My clinical responsibilities include provision of anesthesia care with a sub-specialty to thoracic, vascular, and obstetric patients, especially high-risk – many of which require intrauterine fetal intervention. My anesthesia care extends beyond the main operating rooms to outside of the main operating rooms. I also provide advice to faculty and residents wherever necessary.

As an exemplary teacher and educator, I am committed to teaching residents, fellows, and junior faculty via official monthly lectures and daily clinical interactions. In addition, I have given over 170 local, regional, national, and international presentations with topics covering obstetric anesthesia, coagulation, airway physiology, airway equipment, capnography, respiratory physiology, monitoring, and operating room efficiency. Every spring, I host a 4-hour Difficult Airway course as part of the Harvard Anesthesia Update. As well as being actively involved in national and international societies and their annual meetings, I review 15 national and international journals and am an external examiner for University of West Indies’ anesthesiology programs. I am also an expert reviewer for NIH.GOV grant review process for capnography related grant applications under Clinical Sciences and Biomedical Engineering.

Two educationally Significant Supporting Activities are my websites Capnography.com and Painfreebirthing.com – both designed and maintained by me. For over 25 years, I’ve been exploring and promoting the value of capnography and teaching a vast number of clinicians and others around the world through lectures, publications, and my teaching website www.capnography.com. I’ve earned the global reputation as the leading expert in capnography, and Capnography.com, which is equivalent to a textbook, is ranked number one on major search engines. I was instrumental in proposing a standard nomenclature for capnography that is currently used by Nunn’s Applied Respiratory Physiology, Miller’s Anesthesia and other leading text books. Painfreebirthing.com is a patient-oriented website intended to educate patients about labor and delivery and various pain relief methods available to women during labor and delivery. Many educational institutions, including SOAP, provide a link to this site for their patients. I’ve received several awards honoring both of these educational endeavors.

My research interests include, but are not limited to, capnography, physiology of pregnancy, airway changes during labor, laparoscopy during pregnancy, coagulation and blood transfusion, hemodynamic changes during cesarean delivery, and operating room efficiency. A unique feature of my research is that the findings have changed our understanding of physiology and our practice. My studies were first to focus on arterial to end-tidal gradients in pregnant women, physiology of laparoscopy in pregnant women, airway changes in labor, and evaluate the efficacy of high plasma to RBC ratio for transfusions, etc. I actively continue clinical research in obstetric anesthesia and aortic cross-clamping as well as mentor fellows and residents, two of which won the prestigious ‘Gertie Marx Resident Award’ for their research work.

In September, 2014, my administrative duties expanded from Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs to Interim Chair of the Department. As Interim Chair, I lead all aspects of the Department’s enterprise, serve as the spokesperson for anesthesia faculty and staff, and represent the Department in interactions with the hospital and practitioners throughout the state and nation. Responsibilities include overseeing faculty recruitment, appointments, and evaluation, faculty promotions, educational, clinical and research programs, mentoring leadership, fiscal planning and management, and short- and long-term strategic planning. I steered the department from a negative budget in 2014 to a positive budget surplus in 2015 by careful fiscal planning, financial negotiations and strategic changes in staff deployment during this period, and laid down a firm foundation for the new chair to build upon.

As Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs, I oversee the provision of anesthesia clinical care services, which includes 60 locations (300 staff and residents). This multifaceted job encompasses the execution of short- and long-term strategies for improving overall anesthesia services. This includes overseeing and monitoring resident’s ACGME requirements of case numbers, working hours, and clinical competence. One of my major achievements is fostering better relationships between OR nurses, support staff, and anesthesiologists with bi-annual interdepartmental breakfasts. Also of note, I spearheaded two initiatives that considerably improved OR efficiency: 1) a complete overhaul of the anesthesia technician work force with revised job description supplemented with training to help anesthesiologists start cases in a timely manner, and 2) a comprehensive study of subspecialty first case on time (FCOT) starts identifying needs in order to achieve institutional targets.

Over the years, I have made other considerable clinical innovations in the field of anesthesiology. In Barbados, I modernized anesthesia infrastructure and troubleshooted problems that are inherent to small developing islands, such as high humidity affecting equipment. During my tenure at BWH, I’ve made several changes in infrastructure, such as equipment availability and layout, staff coverage, building anesthesia offices, command centers, and work rooms, improving standards, information management, that have lead to safer, more efficient anesthesia care. I established the nation’s first anesthesia services to the Advanced Multimodality Image Guided Operating Suite (AMIGO) and established and implemented the Perioperative Information Management System (PIMS) project and staff training. Presently, I’m implementing changes to decrease turn over time (TOT) in the operating room, leading EPIC implementation in anesthesiology services in the operating rooms in BWH, and participating in the design of the new OR complex.

My international training and commitments have afforded me a worldly wisdom that impassions me to improve global standards in anesthesia: specifically, 1) making capnography during anesthesia a standard in underdeveloped countries and 2) making obstetric anesthesia safe in India and other countries. For example, as a result of my numerous lectures, discussions, and training workshops in India, many institutions, including small private practices, now use capnography, and the government has sanctioned changes, and continues to do so, mandating the use of capnography. Because I’m recognized as an expert in obstetric anesthesia, I am regularly invited to events and workshops to bring about safety awareness. Prestigious institutions recognize me for my contributions as an academician and clinician. I have been a Scientific Advisor for the National Conference of the Association of Obstetric Anesthesiologist since 2015, and 1^st World Obstetric Anesthesiology Congress, India.

Feedback from 10 Year Vice Chairmanship

From the Chairman

Dear Colleagues,

After spending nearly 10 years in clinical administration, including the critical year he served as Interim Chair that set the stage for our current success, Dr. Bhavani Kodali has asked to step down from his role as the Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs. Dr. Kodali will focus his efforts on leading the CRICO premium reduction program that will be expanded from periodic crisis management simulation to include team-based exercises. He has also taken the lead on developing targeted training for our residents to help them prepare for the OSCE portion of the ABA’s new Applied Examination that will begin in 2018 . Over the coming months, Dr. Kodali will transition his clinical administrative responsibilities to Drs. Monica Sa Rego and Stan Shernan.

Please join me in offering your heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kodali for all he has done to help lead the Department.

Bhavani, thank you. We owe you a debt of gratitude for all you have done for us.

I try not to do a lot of email expressions of emotion. But since I am on vacation and missed your Distinguished Clinician Ceremony, I thought I had to say something. I just hope that you know what high esteem and respect you command from virtually every member of this department and from all surgeons who know you. The fact that you have risen above the unseemly fray of administrative politics only further elevates my opinion of you. Hope you get a big fat bonus with that award, but I seriously doubt it.
