productivity, as an introduction to the individual achievements of our members. Individual achievements
are organized by publications (peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed), book chapters, abstracts,
presentations, funding and creative professional achievements, including program development, teaching
awards, educational development opportunities, and other major accomplishments. I congratulate all of
you for your tremendous individual achievements and a collective commitment to excellence in Critical
Care Medicine.
Under the leadership of Drs Abrahamson and Scales, our Residency Training Program continues to be a
national leader in training and producing the highest quality intensivists and leaders in critical care
medicine. The program received Full Accreditation status following the external review by the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. This achievement is indicative of the high quality of the
program, the dedication of the faculty and the hard work and efforts of our exceptional residents. I
congratulate this year’s graduating class, wishing them success in their careers and I welcome the 2013
class as they embark on their residency training.
Our Faculty had another very successful year in research. This year, the total number of unique peerreviewed publications exceeded 225. I would like to thank Drs. Andrew Baker (St. Michael’s Hospital),
Brian Cuthbertson (Sunnybrook), Peter Laussen (Hospital for Sick Children), and Niall Ferguson (Mt.
Sinai and UHN) for their leadership.

University of Toronto Residency Training Program
(Damon C. Scales, MD PhD)
The University of Toronto Adult Critical Care Medicine Residency Training Program continues to lead the
country in producing the highest quality intensivists and leaders in Critical Care Medicine. The 2012-2013
academic year marked several important successes. Most notably, our Program received Full
Accreditation status following the external review by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Canada. This important distinction acknowledges the excellent quality of our training program and in
particular the outstanding academic half-day organized by Dr. Simon Abrahamson, the dedication of our
teaching faculty, and the exceptional and hard-working residents that we continue to attract.
We congratulate last year’s graduating residents, who have all developed into highly trusted and
competent intensivists: Drs. Alawi AlSaeedi, Andrew Beckett, Martin Betts, Jesse Delaney, Akash Girn,
Terence Ip, Oleksa Rewa, Kit Stanley, Maude St-Onge, and Carolyn Tram. We are very proud of these
impressive individuals, and look forward to following their continued career growth and success. We
continue to attract some of the very brightest candidates, and welcome those that joined our program in
July 2013: Drs. Jonathan Di Fabio, Ray Guo, Barbara Haas, Christina Katsios, Aleksandra Leligdowicz,
Mark Maraschiello, and Warren Luksum.
The residency program continues to offer novel educational opportunities to our trainees, thanks largely
to the innovation and dedication of the Program’s Education Director, Dr. Simon Abrahamson. We would
also like to thank Bernadette Slingerland for her help in organizing and scheduling these events and
contributing to a truly excellent program. This past year we once again had a simulation series (Dr.
Simon Abrahamson), National ACES course (Dr. Simon Abrahamson), Bronchoscopy course (Dr. Simon
Abrahamson), Communication Course (Dr. James Downar), Leaders and Mangers Day (Dr. Andrew
Beckett, Simon Abrahamson, Bernadette Slingerland), Career Night (Dr. Andrew Beckett, Bernadette
Slingerland), ethics series (Drs. Neil Lazar), and a summer physiology series (Drs. Martin Betts, Elliott
Owen, Simon Abrahamson). The excellent Transport Day (Drs. Maude St-Onge, Andrew Beckett, Simon
Abrahamson) received media coverage in a CTV News video segment. Drs. Simon Abrahamson and
Alberto Goffi continued to provide an ultrasound and echocardiography course. Dr. Eddy Fan led the
monthly journal club to teach critical appraisal skills, and also organized a workshop on extracorporeal life
support. Dr. Shelly Dev and Christie Lee organized the annual in-training oral exam to help us assess the
progress of our residents. The UofT Annual CCM Residents’ Day (Drs. Chris Parshuram, Damon Scales,
Maude St-Onge, Elliott Owen, Charles Larson, Srinivas Murthy; Meredith Malloy and Nicole De
Berardinis) was a tremendous success, featuring plenary presentations from Drs. Taylor Thompson
(Harvard University) and Peter Laussen (Sick Kids), and more than 50 posters and oral presentations
from our residents.
The recipients of the annual teaching awards were selected by the critical care residents to acknowledge
outstanding faculty in the IDCCM. Dr. Simon Abrahamson once again received the John T. Granton
Award for Outstanding Contributions to Teaching and Education (city-wide). The site winners for
excellence in teaching were Dr. Thomas Stewart (Mount Sinai), Dr. Simon Abrahamson (St. Michael’s),
Dr. Andre Amaral (Sunnybrook), Dr. Eddie Fan (Toronto General), Dr. Jeff Singh (Toronto Western), and
Dr. Alvin Chang (UofT-affiliated community teaching hospitals, Toronto East General).
We continue to improve the calibre of the overall training program with several exciting initiatives
including a new ultrasound simulator and the appointment of Dr. Christie Lee as the Program’s Evaluation
Director. The Visiting Professor series and Clinical Research in Progress Sessions, both organized by
Dr. Gordon Rubenfeld and Meredith Malloy, have been tremendously successful by exposing our trainees
to international leaders in critical care and providing our residents with support and feedback for on their
scholarly projects.
This was truly an outstanding and important year that culminated in our program being fully accredited
once more by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. We should all be very proud of this
achievement, and continue to build on our strong reputation for training leaders in Critical Care Medicine.
Critical Care Canada Forum 2012
(Niall D. Ferguson, MD)
Critical Care Canada Forum (CCCF) is a 3-day conference organized by the Interdepartmental Division of
Critical Care Medicine, which focuses on topics that are relevant to the individuals involved in the care of
critically ill patients, wherever the patients are located. Internationally recognized, the Critical Care
Canada Forum focuses on leading-edge science through informative and interactive sessions, dynamic
speakers and numerous exhibitions. The CCCF is a place where doctors, nurses and respiratory
therapists can collaborate on shared knowledge across disciplines, departments and institutions.
This year Critical Care Canada Forum (CCCF) was held October 28-31, continuing this year in its new
location at the Sheraton Centre Hotel & Convention Centre. These dates coincided with Canadian
Intensive Care Week in Canada. The conference proper was preceded by several pre-congress courses,
including the popular Residents’ Day (co-sponsored by the Canadian Critical Care Society) and
workshops on ultrasound in the ICU.
This year’s conference was attended by over 1000 participants and featured 175 presentations covering
many diverse topics including mechanical ventilation, sedation and analgesia strategies, and systems for
improving quality and safety. As usual we had presentations of a number of important randomized trials –
including studies on fluid resuscitation in shock, high-frequency oscillation, and prone positioning in
ARDS.
In addition to the strong scientific programme, social aspects of the conference are also highly rated,
including the Reception at the Top of the Sheraton. CCCF also has a number of affiliated meetings before
and during conference period, including the Canadian Critical Care Society, the Canadian Critical Care
Trials Group, and the Canadian Intensive Care Foundation.
The organizing committee for Critical Care Canada Forum consists of:
Brian Kavanagh (Chair, Organizing Committee); Niall Ferguson (Chair, Scientific Programme); Shelly
Dev; Claudia Dos Santos; Rob Fowler; Stephen Lapinsky; John Marshall; Damon Scales; and Art Slutsky
The conference in 2012 was a huge success, and planning is already underway for the upcoming year
November 9-21, 2013. More details are available at www.criticalcarecanada.com.
The Critical Care Canada Forum is where Canada’s intensivists put the latest science into practice.
An Update from the Department of Critical Care, St. Michael’s Hospital
(Andrew J. Baker, MD)
In the past year, the Department of Critical Care at St. Michael’s Hospital has succeeded in its quest for
excellence across all endeavors undertaken by its staff. In the areas of education, research and clinical
activities, the hard work of the department has been recognized through various honours received
throughout the past year.
The St. Michael’s Hospital Critical Care Department is very happy to welcome Dr. John Laffey as a new
member of the department’s faculty.
In education, Dr. Simon Abrahamson and Dr. Natalie Wong continue to lead the Fellowship and
Residency programs, respectively. Dr. Abrahamson again received the John Ganton Award from the
University of Toronto and the Best Teacher Award from St. Michael’s Hospital for his excellent teaching
capacity within in the hospital.
In addition to the aforementioned education-based awards, other awards received by physicians within
the department include:
Dr. Simon Abrahamson was also presented with the University of Toronto Innovation Award for his work
on the Simfocus Study. In addition, Dr. Andrew Baker and Dr. Arthur Slutsky were presented with the
th
Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in commemoration of the 60 anniversary of her Majesty’s
accession to the throne and in recognition of their contributions to Canada. Furthermore, Dr. Andrew
Baker was awarded the inaugural Cara Phelan Chair of Critical Care Medicine at St. Michael’s Hospital in
July 2012. Dr. Arthur Slutsky was also presented with the Anne & Neil McArthur Research Award from
St. Joseph’s Healthcare as well as the prestigious 2012 American Thoracic Society Assembly on Critical
Care Lifetime Achievement Award in May of 2012.Dr. Patricia Houston received the Award of Merit for
Excellence in Interprofessional Teaching from the Department of Anesthesia in the Faculty of Medicine at
the University of Toronto. Dr. Warren Lee was presented with an award for Best Poster at the Infectious
Disease Research Day at the University of Toronto and an award for Best Oral Presentation at the
Canadian National Medical Student Research Symposium as a supervisor for his graduate student Susan
Armstrong. As a unit, the Critical Care Department’s Critical Care Response Team (CCRT) received the
Values in Action Award, a testament to the strong sense of values and contributions to the hospital’s
culture of caring, as exemplified by those within the department.
The physicians in the Critical Care Department have continued their consistent contributions to the realm
of research by publishing 108 articles in peer-reviewed journals in the past year. These publications were
funded in part through a total of 26 research grants and awards received by the Critical Care Department
staff this year. Peer-reviewed grants were received by – Drs. Andrew Baker, Karen Burns, Claudia dos
Santos, Sara Gray, David Hall, Chris Hayes, John Laffey, Bernard Lawless, Warren Lee, John Marshall,
and Arthur Slutsky. Non-peer reviewed grants were received by – Drs. David Hall, David Klein, David
Mazer, and Natalie Wong.
In order to present their own research and further their knowledge of new findings in similar research
fields, Critical Care Department members traveled to a variety of conferences and presentations
throughout the world. There were a total of 45 regional, 24 national and 58 international presentations by
Critical Care Department physicians in the 2012 year.
An Update from the Department of Critical Care Medicine, The Hospital for Sick Children
(Peter C. Laussen, MB, BS, FCICM)
The 2012 academic year in the Department of Critical Care Medicine at SickKids has been eventful and
productive. We continue to be extremely busy with over 2,000 admissions to the Divisions of Paediatric
Critical Care and Cardiovascular Critical Care. Outcomes remain excellent and comparable to any
benchmark with respect to mortality and quality markers such as rate of inadvertent extubation,
healthcare acquired infection and rate of readmission. However, there is always room for improvement
and the Quality Program in the department is undergoing significant change with new appointments and
managers to oversee a coordinated approach to quality and safety across the Intensive Care Unit. These
will also be included in initiatives currently underway to broaden quality and safety measurement and
practices across the Intensive Care Units in the GTA.
Our new Chief, Dr. Peter Laussen, arrived from Boston in September of 2012 and has settled in nicely
and embraced the culture that exists across SickKids. Over recent years, Dr. Laussen has led the
development of an innovative web-based software application to facilitate capture of continuous
physiologic data streams in the Critical Care environment. Called “T3” for Tracking, Trajectory and
Trigger, the aims include improved visualization of continuous physiologic data with functions that
enhances the integration and interactions with the data. A primary aim is to capture, store and share
these large physiologic data sets to enable predictive modeling.
The Resident and Fellow Training Program at SickKids underwent a successful review by the Royal
College. Led by Dr. Kotsakis, we were well prepared and passed with flying colours in all domains. This
was a major milestone and a great relief to receive full accreditation.
The clinical research within the department has once again been very active, led by Dr. Jamie Hutchison.
The work by Dr. Hutchison and Dr. Guerguerian related to traumatic brain injury continues to be at the
forefront of this research in paediatric patients, and the Early Warning Score developed by Dr. Parshuram
remains the only validated early warning score for paediatric patients and has now also received FDA
approval; the multi-centre study continues to enroll patients and adoption of this Early Warning Score
continues across Canada, the US and indeed the world.
We remain extremely committed to teaching the next generation, and our education program for
Residents and Fellows is a priority. In addition to our Canadian residents in the training program, our
many Fellows from overseas who spend between 1-2 years with us really enhance the richness of our
program. We successfully launched a Senior Fellowship position in our Cardiovascular Critical Care Unit
in 2012, and this academic year have launched a Senior Neurocritical Care Fellow position. We also
recognize the importance of maintaining connections and collaboration with the many Fellows we have
trained over the years. Dr. Peter Cox is leading our inaugural SickKids Critical Care Alumni meeting
during the Critical Care Canada Forum this coming November 2013, and will also be launching an Alumni
Association. By doing so, we hope to maintain our connections with those Fellows who have trained with
us, and also facilitate ongoing collaboration and communication between former Fellows as well.
Finally, the Department received its second Endowed Chair, the David and Stacey Cynamon Chair in
Paediatric Critical Care Medicine through the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto.
This Endowed Chair is to support the Chief of the Department of Critical Care Medicine.
An Update from the Departments of Critical Care Medicine,
University Health Network/Mount Sinai Hospital
(Niall D. Ferguson, MD)
Personnel:
The leadership team for Critical Care at UHN/MSH remained largely unchanged in 2012. Dr. Niall
Ferguson is Interim Director of Critical Care for UHN/MSH, with Drs. Neil Lazar, Jeff Singh, and Stephen
Lapinksy serving as Site Directors for Toronto General, Toronto Western, and Mount Sinai, respectively.
Our research leads are Drs. Margaret Herridge (UHN) and Geeta Mehta (MSH). Dr. Andrew Steel serves

left UHN to pursue her career in her home province of Newfoundland, where we wish her every success.
Research:
This was another excellent year for our research group. Our grant and publications records were strong
(see individual reports). We participated in numerous studies – some investigator-led from within our
group OSCILLATE; Towards RECOVER), some investigator-initiated from other CCCTG collaborators
(ABLE), and others industry trials (PROWESS-Shock; CONSCIOUS II).
Education/Innovation:
The International Fellowship Programme at UHN/MSH, under Dr. Andrew Steel’s direction, continues to
flourish, despite positions for 7 fellows per year we are fortunate to receive many more strong
applications than we can accommodate. In addition we continue to evolve our resident education
programme at UHN/MSH, including Intensive Care University – a primer on essentials of critical care for
new residents beginning their rotation. Other areas of quality improvement include a focus on reducing
CLI and VAP, and new quality initiatives targeting delirium and also early mobility.
An Update from the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
(Dr. Brian Cuthbertson MB ChB, MD, FRCA)
The leadership team for Critical Care Medicine at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre remained
unchanged in 2012. Dr. Brian Cuthbertson is the Chief of Critical Care Medicine, while Dr. Gordon
Rubenfeld continues to serve as Chief of the Trauma, Emergency and Critical Care Program. Dr. Damon
Scales remained the Program Director of the University of Toronto Adult Critical Medicine Training
Program. Drs. Shelly Dev and Cameron Guest lead the education programme as our Residency Director
and Co- Fellowship Directors of the International Fellowship Program.

In research the department enjoyed a number of notable academic accomplishments. Brian Cuthbertson
was the senior author on the TRAC-MAN trial in JAMA and the OSCAR trial on high-frequency oscillatory
ventilation in the NEJM while continuing the first phases of the SuDDICU research program evaluating
selective decontamination of the digestive tract and the METS (Measurement of Exercise Tolerance
before Surgery) Study, both funded by CIHR. Gordon Rubenfeld completed his year as the American
Thoracic Society Critical Care Assembly Chair while supporting numerous IDDCCM faculty research
programs, playing a leading role on ARDS and Sepsis international guidelines and completing a
multicenter trial of acute lung injury support tools. Avery Nathens is the principal investigator on numerous
peer-funded trauma-focused research programs in addition to authoring two-dozen peer-reviewed
manuscripts. Andre Amaral continues his focus on quality improvement with publications on patient
“hand-offs” and sedation practices. Lorraine Tremblay is the Principal Investigator of the Implementation
& Assessment of a Novel Multidisciplinary e-Discharge Summary to Improve Efficiency, Satisfaction, and
Safety of Transfer of Care for Complex Patients. Damon Scales was an inaugural recipient of the
Physicians’ Services Incorporated Fellowship Award in Translational Medicine (2012-2015), the scientific
officer for the CIHR Health Services Research Panel, principal investigator of the CIHR-funded ICE-PACS
Randomized Controlled Trial and Premature Termination of Resuscitation in Survivors of Cardiac Arrest
(PremaTOR) study, in addition to authoring 14 peer-reviewed publications. Neill Adhikari is a consultant
to the World Health Organization Global Influenza Program critical care training courses, lecturing in
Indonesia and Vietnam in addition to authoring 16 peer-reviewed publications. Rob Fowler completed a
Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellowship and began a Heart and Stroke Foundation Mid-Career
Clinician Scientist award (2013-2017), initiating a research program focused on end-of-life care and
funded by CIHR, TVN Network Center of Excellence, and the University of Toronto. Martin Chapman is
the project lead for the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation-funded Knowledge Translation for Severe
Traumatic Brain Injury (sTBI) Across Ontario and the Academic Health Sciences Centres Alternate
Funding Plan Innovation Fund Transforming the Care Of Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
(sTBI) In Toronto projects. Taz Sinuff authored numerous peer-reviewed publications on advance care
planning, rationing in the ICU and quality improvement initiatives. Shannon Goddard and Vicki McCredie
are new Clinical Associates and simultaneously enrolled in graduate studies in clinical epidemiology at
HPME.
The Visiting Professorship Program continues to be tremendously successful in bringing international
experts in Critical Care to Sunnybrook and the city-wide Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care. The
Clinical Research in Progress sessions continue to provide a supportive environment where investigators
can bring research projects for critical evaluation and discussion. This past year we had 18 presenters
which included an assortment of both city-wide staff and fellows.
Nicole Marinoff, our Research Manager is currently leading 12 open industry studies that many are
currently under review and pending publication. Several of our staff has received REB approval for
retrospective data studies in 2012-2013.
Education and Quality Improvement
We pride ourselves on our high quality clinical teaching and in the 2012-2013 academic year the
Department has continued to receive high scores for teaching assessments from both resident and
fellowship training attachments. We have continued to develop our problem based learning modules and
have shared this teaching throughout the University of Toronto adult critical care centres.
Dominique Piquette completes her PhD in simulation and supervision in medical education as part of a
CIHR-funded fellowship award and has six papers accepted or under submission from her work. Shelly
Dev is the Principal Investigator of a Validation Study of a Multimedia-Based Teaching Tool used for
Bedside Teaching funded by the Education Development Fund, University of Toronto and continues her
role as editor and contributor to the New England Journal of Medicine Videos in Clinical Medicine series.
We are also continuing to develop simulation teaching in technical skills based competencies with
increase success. Dr. Shelly Dev was contracted by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre to create a very
popular educational video series around correct hand hygiene practices. Additionally, she collaborated
with colleagues in the Department of Medicine to develop a video series for educators to learn about
giving effective feedback to trainees.
In Quality Improvement, the Department continues to collect data on key quality indicators reflecting our
performance. A Process of Care Database was developed and validated, which monitors the quality of
care provided in the ICU for these select quality indicators. The results are published internally on-line on
a quarterly basis. We have initiated activities to improve compliance with lung protective ventilation, early
rehabilitation and to decrease blood work. This year we also develop a biannual multi-professional quality
meeting across all of critical care central with encouraging feedback. Dr Andre Amaral continues to work
on hand over and clinical communication as quality improvement ventures.

study is to determine whether curcumin, a natural health product, can
prevent acute kidney injury and other complications after elective AAA
repair. If proven safe and effective, curcumin is an inexpensive
intervention which can be readily applied to almost 50,000 AAA repairs
performed worldwide each year. New knowledge about this intervention
may also guide its use in other surgical and medical settings to prevent
complications to the kidneys, heart and other organs..
