a message from the
director
I am very pleased to present the Department of Anesthesiology’s fourth Annual
Report, which highlights the exceptional care we provide to patients at HSS.
In 2013 we introduced the concept of the
Perioperative Orthopedic Surgical Home
(POSH) model of care, a coordinated
approach that is patient-centered, physicianled, and multidisciplinary. The Department of
Anesthesiology, through many preoperative,
intraoperative and postoperative initiatives,
plays a vital role in this multidisciplinary
model, with the primary goal of providing the
highest quality surgical experience.
Some of the Department’s perioperative
initiatives, including the role of regional anesthetics,
acute pain management and orthopedic critical care, are
discussed at length in this report.
We have also highlighted some of the less traditional
but equally important initiatives that have taken place in
our Department over the past year. The roles of focused
transthoracic echocardiography, bioethics in anesthesia and
perioperative medicine, and our global outreach initiatives
set this Department apart from many others that simply
provide basic clinical care. This differentiation is vital
in maintaining HSS’s position as the global standard in
orthopedics.
In addition to clinical accomplishments, our physicians
continue to publish ground-breaking research, lecture
locally, nationally and internationally, and educate the next
generation of regional and orthopedic anesthesiologists.
I hope you enjoy reading about these and other
achievements of the Department of Anesthesiology in our
2013 Annual Report.

The Department of Anesthesiology at Hospital for Special Surgery prides itself
on providing exceptional specialty care for an exceptional specialty hospital.
ANESTHESIOLOGY AT HSS: SPECIALIZING IN REGIONAL TECHNIQUES
The Department of Anesthesiology at
Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS)
prides itself on providing exceptional
specialty care for an exceptional
specialty hospital. Recognized as the
premier physicians in the world for
the practice of regional anesthesia
and pain medicine for orthopedics, 85
percent of the 41,441 anesthetics
performed by HSS anesthesiologists
in 2013 involved the application of
regional anesthesia (RA) techniques.
Ideal for joint replacement
procedures, RA is also a key
contributor to the Hospital’s low
rates of infection, complications and
mortality. Its use significantly shortens
surgical time, and patients benefit
from decreased postoperative pain,
less nausea and fewer side effects.
Rates of deep vein thrombosis and
pulmonary embolism are lower
than with general anesthesia, and
use of RA results in a markedly
reduced risk of surgical infection.
The Hospital’s low infection rates
were acknowledged in New York
State’s Hospital Acquired Infection
2012 Report, which was published
in December 2013. The report
confirmed that HSS’ risk-adjusted
surgical site infection rate is less than
half of the state average and the
Hospital’s hip infection rate is less
than half of what would be expected
for our particular mix of patients.
The Department continually
supports research into how RA
affects orthopedic outcomes. In
2013, Stavros Memtsoudis, MD,
PhD, and a team of investigators
studied the impact of anesthesia
technique in patients undergoing
total knee and hip replacement
surgeries by analyzing national
data from approximately 400,000
patients undergoing surgery at 400
hospitals. The goal of the study was
to prove Dr. Memtsoudis’ theory
that regional anesthesia favorably
influences perioperative outcomes.
Postoperative complications, 30-day
mortality, length of stay, and patient
cost were analyzed and compared
based on anesthesia technique:
regional, general, and a combination
of the two.
Dr. Memtsoudis published a landmark
article after successfully proving that
the utilization of regional anesthesia
for primary joint arthroplasty is
associated with superior perioperative
outcomes. The study confirmed that
patients who received regional
anesthesia had statistically significant
decreases in 30-day mortality, length
of hospital stay and in-hospital
complications, including fewer
infections.

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
TO PATIENT CARE
“Dr. Kahn stood out
amongst an excellent
staff. He was clear,
agreed to my request
to be awake during
the procedure, and
talked to me the whole
time. A genuinely
caring manner – one
of the best I’ve ever
experienced.”
Anesthesiologists at HSS do much
more than provide anesthesia in
operating rooms; they are also
responsible for many other patient
care services integral to the entire
perioperative experience.
The Perioperative Surgical
Home (PSH) model of care, a
patient-centered, physicianled multidisciplinary system of
coordinated care that guides a
patient throughout the entire surgical
experience, is currently being
developed by the American Society
of Anesthesiologists. The purpose
of the integrated care provided via
the PSH model is to create a better,
more cohesive patient experience
while making surgical care safer
and more efficient. Similarly, HSS
provides a Perioperative Orthopedic
Surgical Home (POSH) model
through multidisciplinary coordination
between the Departments of

Anesthesiology, Medicine, Surgery,
Nursing and other ancillary services.
The Hospital’s pre-surgical
screening process is tailored
specifically to a patient’s history
and complexity. Patients may
receive pre-surgical consultation
by a physician in the Department
of Medicine, and depending on
complexity of the surgery, medical
history and past experience
with anesthesia, the patient may
also receive an anesthesiology
consultation. During the anesthesia
consultation the anesthesiologist
evaluates past medical history and
assesses the patient’s anesthetic
options. Furthermore, patients with
comorbidities or a complex medical
history may be referred to the
Complex Case Committee for review
prior to surgery. The committee,
chaired by Michael Urban, MD, PhD,
consists of a multidisciplinary group

STATISTICIAN
KARA FIELDS, MS
In 2013, the Department’s Research
Division expanded its formal collaboration with the HSS Epidemiology and
Biostatistics Core with the addition
of statistician Kara Fields, MS, to the
research team. Ms. Fields obtained
her Master’s degree in biostatistics at
Columbia University. She interned at
HSS while attending Columbia, and
was subsequently hired as full-time
biostatistician in September 2012.
Under the direction of Stephen Lyman,
PhD, and Yan Ma, PhD, Ms. Fields
works on study design, statistical
analysis planning, power calculations and data analysis. She evaluates
research protocols using the Clinical
Review Panel process and provides
statistical support for the Department’s
Journal Club meetings and Grand
Rounds. In 2013, she co-authored two
publications and gave an educational
lecture to Department faculty about the
published standards for reporting on
randomized clinical trial methodology
and results.
When asked her thoughts on the collaboration, Ms. Fields remarked, “I am
grateful to be working closely with a
Department that is uniformly dedicated
to conducting and publishing research
of the highest quality. After assisting
in numerous studies which explore
methods to reduce postoperative pain
and frequency of adverse events, I
appreciate how the anesthesiologist’s
responsibilities extend far beyond the
operating room.”

FOCUS ASSESSED TRANSTHORACIC
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
FIRST COURSE IN NORTH AMERICA
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is
a tool traditionally used by cardiologists
to answer complex clinical questions
about a patient’s cardiovascular health.
However, few physicians without formal
training in cardiology utilize a focused
TTE exam for its other potential clinical
benefits. Focused TTE is becoming an
important tool for anesthesiologists and
critical care physicians in the perioperative setting when used to supplement clinical evaluation and optimize
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There is
growing awareness of the benefits of
focused TTE among anesthesiologists
and intensivists, but there are few opportunities available to adequately train
physicians to incorporate this tool into
their daily practice.
The Focus Assessed Transthoracic
Echocardiography (FATE) exam was established in 1989 and has been taught
via training courses since 1996. The
FATE protocol training course teaches
physicians how to perform a focused
TTE exam and then utilize the information to improve patient management
and care. Prior to the course, participants complete an online e-learning
module to prepare for hands-on training
in the FATE exam. Although FATE
originated in Denmark, the FATE training courses have expanded dramati-
cally establishing a strong international
presence throughout Europe, India, and
South Africa.
In March 2013, the Anesthesiology
Department partnered with USabcd.org
to host the first official FATE course in
North America. Stephen Haskins, MD,
coordinated the program and taught
the course under the supervision of
FATE protocol originator, Professor Erik
Sloth, MD, PhD. Twenty HSS attending
anesthesiologists participated in the
course, learning to perform a focused
cardiac echo exam to supplement
standard clinical evaluation and to
guide cardiopulmonary optimization.
Subsequent to the March course, at
the invitation of Professor Sloth, Dr.
Haskins traveled to Denmark to receive
further training and was designated as
the first clinical instructor of the USabcd.
org FATE Course in the United States.
In July, Dr. Haskins, assisted by Jemiel
Nejim, MD, Sean Garvin, MD, and
Stephen Harris, MD, conducted
a second FATE Course at HSS. In
January 2014, HSS held a FATE
protocol course open to non-HSS
physicians to share this important
skill with doctors outside the HSS
community. This was the first open
FATE course in North America.

Advances in medicine are often
accompanied by social and ethical
challenges. Although anesthesiology
and ethics are not always readily associated, as facilitators of perioperative
surgical services, anesthesiologists are
confronted with difficult patient care
decisions that go beyond perioperative evaluation, selection of anesthetic
technique and postoperative care.
The Department of Anesthesiology
addresses these ethical challenges
through multiple clinical, educational
and research initiatives.
In 2013, Douglas Green, MD,
Michael Nurok, MB ChB, PhD, and
Gregory Liguori, MD, were part of a
team that revised the Hospital’s Do
Not Resuscitate (DNR) policies, ensuring alignment with New York State
Law and national society guidelines
on patient options for DNR in the
operating room. In addition, they are
currently developing a policy for situations where requested care may not be
clinically appropriate. HSS anesthesiologists serve on a variety of committees
to promote ethics in medicine:
 Mary Chisholm, MD, serves as a
member of the HSS Institutional
Review Board. The Board oversees
the treatment of human subjects and
brings a focus on ethics to the committee’s activities. Dr. Nurok serves
as an alternate member.
 Dr. Chisholm and Dr. Nurok are members of the HSS Ethics Committee,
and Dr. Green serves as Co-Chair.
Committee members foster an interdisciplinary approach to clinical ethics
and convene regularly to review
current research and approaches.
The committee supports clinicians,
patients and family members who are
facing ethical challenges, and members provide consultations to assist in
the resolution of ethical issues.
D
r. Nurok serves on several national
society committees that manage ethics and related topics, including the

ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY
PROFESSOR IN

In December, Christopher Wu, MD,
Chief of the Division of Obstetrics &
Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain
at Johns Hopkins Medicine, presented
Grand Rounds to the HSS Medical
Staff as the third annual Distinguished
Visiting Professor in Anesthesiology. Dr. Wu also moderated a Visiting Professor Journal Club for the anesthesiology staff, visited HSS clinical settings
to share best practice information and
joined members of the Hospital’s leadership team for continued discussion of
his lecture topic.
Dr. Wu’s Grand Rounds lecture:
“Dying for the Weekend: Does the
Weekend Effect Exist?” detailed his
research on the weekend effect, a possible increase in morbidity and mortality
when patients are admitted or cared for
over the weekend. His research and literature review
showed that the existence of a weekend effect varies; for example, hospitals
with staffing rates that remained the
same showed no weekend effect, while
those with reduced staffing on weekends did report a significant effect.
While the existence of this effect is not
yet fully proven, if the weekend effect
is confirmed it may lead to changes in
healthcare policy and delivery.

GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL
OUTREACH
Anesthesiologists at HSS, as leaders in
the field of orthopedic anesthesia, are
committed to reducing disparities in
healthcare and narrowing the burden of
surgical and anesthetic disease in low
and middle-income countries. Most of
these countries have a critical shortage
of qualified surgical and anesthesia
providers, causing a healthcare
workforce crisis.
To help alleviate this, HSS anesthesiologists take an active role volunteering
in surgical missions around the world,
including Dominican Republic, Ecuador,
Ghana, India and Haiti. They are making strides within global international
outreach through their participation in
these missions, which provide surgery
to those who would otherwise be unable to afford them. Over the course of
10
one week, teams are able to perform
an average of 50 operations, and many
of these surgeries prove to be lifechanging for patients.
orthopedic hospital, serves as a major
teaching institution and referral center
for orthopedics. As a government hospital, HTO treats patients who cannot
afford private healthcare, a majority of
whom are orthopedic trauma patients
who require surgery.
Through this global collaboration, HSS anesthesiologists
visit HTO twice each year
to teach regional anesthesia techniques to
their anesthesia providers, helping to improve
outcomes, safety and
postoperative pain analgesia while decreasing the need
for expensive equipment. Ultimately, the goal of the collaboration is
to strengthen the anesthesia workforce
in Vietnam and provide an improved
standard of anesthetic care. Sustainable development through teaching is
the key to empowering local communities and providing lasting change.

“On every occasion when Dr. Goytizolo has been my anesthesiologist, he
has been ideal in every way. He listens, he acts, he advocates, he consoles, he
responds, he communicates. In short, he uses his skills, intelligence and humanity
to produce the best possible outcome for his patient. After my most recent
surgery, I awoke in PACU completely pain-free. For that and for all the other
things Dr. Goytizolo has done for me that are intangible and difficult to express,
I am deeply grateful and appreciative.” —Excerpt from a 2013 patient letter
