Center of Cardiovascular Research: Big Data and Bioengineering | Anesthesiology Grand Rounds (RECORDING)

Thursday, September 5, 2024, 12:00 AM - Saturday, September 4, 2027, 11:59 PM, On Demand

In this recorded Anesthesiology Grand Rounds presentation, Dr. Louise Sun, a professor of anesthesiology at Stanford University and an adjunct scientist at the University of Toronto, covers her research and clinical journey in cardiovascular research, leveraging big data and biomedical engineering. She discusses her approach to working with big data, using it in clinical and health services research, and integrating it with biomedical engineering to bring findings to the bedside. Her key topics include predictive analytics, biomarker discovery, patient-centered outcomes, frailty assessment, disparities in cardiac surgical care, hypotension thresholds, and machine learning applications. In addition, the lecture highlights various studies conducted by Dr. Sun and her team, focusing on areas such as right ventricular failure, heart failure outcomes, sex and ethnic disparities, disability-free survival, comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques, and the impact of handover of anesthesia care and physician team diversity on patient outcomes.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (0.75 hours), Non-Physician Participation Credit (0.75 hours)

1. Validate the patented algorithm and device for predicting hypotension episodes and improving surgical workflow and capacity management.
2. Explore the potential for personalizing perioperative management based on precision-based data and making such data more accessible to clinicians and researchers.
3. Investigate the impact of temperature management practices on the association between hypotension and adverse outcomes in cardiac surgery.
4. Collaborate with expert consensus panels and database organizations to integrate patient-centered outcomes and personalized hypotension thresholds into quality metrics and guidelines.

In support of improving patient care, Stanford Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
