Endocrine changes and hemodynamic stability after brain death, perioperative management of the multiorgan donor and DCD have been my main areas of expertise and authorship for 35 years. Given the shortage of cadaveric donors, living related donation of the kidney and right lobe of the liver has become a viable option for adult patients, and as such, requires meticulous care of a healthy donor patient to limit the perioperative risk of morbidity and mortality. I have published guidelines for the perioperative care of the transplant patient for surgery and/or pregnancy and delivery. My clinical research interests include anesthesia for abdominal transplantation (pain management, perioperative outcomes, pharmacokinetic/dynamic studies, strategies to reduce transfusion requirements, low CVP anesthesia and liver surgery) and providing care for complex patients requiring specialized GI procedures.
