This unit was declared open by Ministerial representative of Government of Guyana in 1982. The unit was under my care during my tenure in Guyana. Patients with serious mining injuries, respiratory insufficiency and coronary patients benefited from this service. In Barbados: Pivotal role in the development of Anesthesia Department at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados. Provided anesthesia care for routine and emergency cases at the government owned 650 bed QEH (A teaching affiliate of University of West Indies, 6000-7000 operations/year, a referral hospital for a million population from Anguilla in the north to Grenada in the south.). I was an active member of the team responsible for refurbishing operating rooms and purchasing monitoring equipment, as well as establishing an ICU (Project undertaken with World Bank Loan). I was a key member of the group responsible for training ICU nurses required to staff the unit. In addition to routine anesthesia and teaching responsibilities, I was also instrumental in developing an anesthesia auditing program to keep track of anesthesia disposable items. Such a program was found to be necessary to prevent acute and unexpected shortage of imported disposable items in the island. In addition, I also designed and organized clinical research studies in capnography utilizing available limited resources. Furthermore, studies were also conducted in areas specific to third world developing nations such as; anesthesia without nitrous oxide (nitrous oxide is expensive); suitability and cost effectiveness of providing oxygen from oxygen concentrators to meet the demands of the hospital; and methods to prevent condensation of water in air pipelines due to excessive humidity. The development of the anesthesia department in Barbados was the focus of my special article published recently. Brigham and Women’s Hospital: As a fellow in Obstetric anesthesia, I was a team leader in assigning day to day clinical responsibilities to residents in the labor and delivery section as well as operating room division. In addition, I was actively involved in the provision of anesthesia care to high risk obstetric patients as well as patients requiring In-vitro-fertilization. At the conclusion of obstetric anesthesia training, I was appointed as staff anesthesiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Major responsibility includes provision of anesthesia care (sub-specialty) to obstetric patients. Brigham and Women’s being a high risk obstetric referral center, a substantial number of patients fall into high risk category requiring anesthesia care during delivery. Recently, a new dimension to obstetric anesthesia care has been added, which is providing care to patients undergoing in-uterus fetal surgery. In addition to subspecialty care of obstetric anesthesia, a portion of time is spent in providing anesthesia care in main operating rooms, which includes general surgical, thoracic and vascular patients, as well to patients out side of main operating room in areas such as in MRI and CT scan. As a member of transfusion committee, I am actively involved with other members in revising and implementing several policies in compliance with JACHO to enhance safety of transfusions in various circumstances. B. Short Report of Research That Contributes to Care of Patients Primary Research interest: Capnography Clinical research is centered on capnography, thromboelastography and obstetric anesthesia. Clinical research in capnography extends over a period of 16 years resulting in publication of original papers, review articles, case reports and correspondences on capnography. The main area of clinical research in capnography is on arterial to end-tidal carbon dioxide differences in pregnancy, including those during laparoscopic surgery. I suggested a standard terminology for time capnography and highlighted current limitations of this important monitoring device. This terminology has been included in most text books including “Nunn’s Respiratory Physiology”. I also review papers on capnography as a consultant to editorial board of Anesthesia and Analgesia as well as guest editor to ‘Anesthesiology’. Achieved the status of ‘Guest Editor” for Anesthesia and Analgesia in the year 2002. I am committed to educating colleagues and residents as well as students in capnography via my participation in grand rounds and day to day clinical teaching. I produced a multimedia on capnography using computer software for teaching purposes. ‘Ohmeda’ (Datex-Ohmeda Inc, Manufacturer of anesthesia equipment, anesthesia machines and capnographs) considers my article entitled “Capnometry and Anaesthesia” an important teaching material for anesthesiologists, customers and employees of Ohmeda. Web Based Education: Site on Capnography.com: A website on capnography has been designed, produced and maintained without external 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. The purpose of this site is to fulfill my long standing goal of developing an easily accessible educational site on capnography. This is an “All-In-One” on capnography. This site has attracted several good reviews: (Approximate time spent in construction of the website – >1000 hours) Anesthesiology – October 2001: (see the issue for full version) “Dr Bhavani Shankar Kodali, a well published expert on the subject of capnography, has created the Capnography website without sponsorship from any equipment or pharmaceutical company. 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, this website provides animated graphics that are not possible to produce in a textbook and can greatly facilitate learning. Capnography.com is truly an “all-in-one” for the subject of capnography and a great teaching contribution.” British Journal of Anaesthesia – October 2001: (see the issue for full version) “This website, the work of Professor Shankar ……. There is lot of material on this site, and it is impossible to list all the good things…. Certainly it provides fun. It will be a learning resource for students- and I will be recommending it. It may become a forum for specialists, as its author hopes….” Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology – October 2001: (see the issue for full version) “While not a book, a web-based site may also be used as a teaching tool….. developed by Dr Shankar, an assistant professor of anesthesiology from Harvard Medical School. The site uses extensive and colorful animations to explain the concepts…. 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. It is also an effective teaching tool for all residents and helpful for the clinician who wishes to better understand the disease process that generates an abnormal waveform.” Capnography.com website was presented as a technical exhibit at the ‘American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual Scientific meeting’ at New Orleans, USA – October 2001. In addition, several complimentary comments have been received from various sections of the medical community, manufacturing firms, and paramedical staff. Some of these comments have been coming from abroad. In addition, the website is also an invaluable tool in the preparation of reports for technology classes. One such example is the Graduate School at Northeastern University. Website statistics reveal that, on the average, 500 pages of this website are accessed on a daily basis. Over 66,000 viewers have already visited this website. Major search engines (such as Yahoo.com and Google.com) rank this website as number one in capnography among non-sponsored websites, based on its popularity and content. Many organizations have provided a link on their website to www.capnography.com in order to provide a source of information on capnography for their clients. Frequently, permission is sought from teachers and instructors in several fields to borrow material from this website for presenting in their conferences. Very often, individuals visiting the website from several countries often ask intriguing questions about Capnography, to which I respond in detail. Patient Education (www.painfreebirthing.com): Patient education is an important component of clinical anesthesia. With the technical experience acquired in the designing of capnography website, a website was designed and just completed to explain the details of pain free childbirth to pregnant women seeking childbirth options. This is the first site to use computer animation graphics to explain basic concepts to lay persons about pain free childbirth procedures so that the patients can make an educated decision regarding their childbirth. The patients can look at this site at their homes during their pregnancy, or can view the site even in the labor and delivery rooms if equipped with internet computers (such as at Brigham and Women’s). The chairman of the department of Obstetric and Gynecology and the director of public relations at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) recognized the importance of this endeavor to women’s health and education. They decided to adopt the website’s content into the pregnancy and childbirth section of the BWH website. They directed their web designers to create a platform for this purpose, which is now live at www.brighamandwomens.org/painfreebirthing. The importance of this patient educational endeavor also received its due recognition at a recently concluded meeting of the Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology, where I was asked to demonstrate the website to the entire gathering. This website has also been selected for presentation as a technical exhibit at the 2002 Annual meeting of American Society of Anesthesiologists in October at Orlando. Over 24,000 viewers have already visited this website since its inception in March 2002. Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) and Obstetric Anaesthetists Association of Great Britain have provided links on their website to the Painfreebirthing website for the benefit of their patients. This website was presented along with the capnography website at the Scientific Exhibition of Annual Postgraduate Assembly in Anesthesiology held in New York (December, 6th-10th, 2002) under the title “Education in the new millennium.” This exhibit won a “Special Award” at the meeting. Approximate hours spent in the preparation of this website – >400 hours). Current Research Projects: Projects completed and the data presented at conferences. Manuscripts are under preparation for possible publication. I am the first author of the following clinical studies: Principal Investigator: Airway changes in Labor Upper airway changes in labor using acoustic resonance reflectometry Intermittent versus continuous infusion of local analgesics during labor Cerebral oxygen saturation during cesarean delivery (primary investigator). Airway in pregnancy Effect of amniotic fluid on coagulation using Thromboelastography Co-investigator: Duration of the supine position after an epidural blood patch. Coagulation studies in patients receiving low dose warfarin thromboprophylaxis using Thromboelastography Effect of Invitro fertilization on coagulation as studied by Thromboelsatography Complementary and alternative medicine use in patients undergoing In-vitro Fertilization procedures. Funding: Manufacturers of medical equipment (Abbott, Inc, 1998-1999; Haemoscope, Inc, 1999-2000) supported the acquisition of equipment for clinical studies. Funding for laboratory investigations in clinical studies (1998-2000) was obtained from ‘Anesthesia Research fund’ of the department. Websites are fully self-supported. Research, programming, designing and implementation of websites were via personal web learning and multimedia programming efforts. C.

Fourth Barbados Society of Anaesthetist Conference,Barbados, West Indies 1992 Consultant assignment to Government of St Lucia: A part of a two member team invited by the Government of St. Lucia to investigate 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. 1997 Lecture: “Clinical overview of Desflurane and its economic viability for developing island nations” Invitation by Zeneca Pharmaceuticals and Department of Anaesthesia,Queen Elizabeth Hospital, University of West Indies,Barbados, West Indies. 1998 Lecture: “Capnography in Clinical Practice”University of Medical and Dental School, New Jersey 1999 Lecture: “Monitoring coagulation disorders using thromboelastography” Anesthesiologists of Bombay, India 1999 Lecture: “Thromboelastography in Pregnancy”Addressed to Obstetricians of Bombay, Oberoi Towers, Bombay, India. 1999 Lecture: “Monitoring coagulation disorders using thromboelastography” Anesthesiology and Cardiac surgery of Grant Hospital, Bombay, India 2000 Lecture: “Capnography.

Self Report of Teaching: Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston MA I take enormous interest in teaching and training residents. Periodically, I am the main speaker of grand rounds on the subject of my interest. I have organized several clinical conferences in the obstetric anesthesia sub-specialty on a regular basis for residents and fellows. I also introduced a new teaching technique to covey messages across to audiences in clinical conferences via computer based animated .gif files. Animated graphics are powerful teaching tools, which unequivocally attract the attention of the audiences. I seize every opportunity to teach residents on capnography via animated website. A considerable portion of my time is spent in updating the websites on a regular basis. Research Supervision of Fellows and Residents I supervise clinical fellows and clinical anesthesia (3rd year) residents to undertake clinical projects and guide them through manuscript preparation as senior author. The results of these projects have been presented at National conferences such as American Society of Anesthesiologists and Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology. Some of the abstracts are published in journals and others in preparation for submission to journals. India: 1981-1982 Senior Registrar, JIPMER, Pondicherry, India. Senior Registrar is a teaching position at JIPMER. I participated in 6 seminars and several case conferences in addition to day to day teaching activities to 15 residents of the department. Barbados: 1986-1993 Associate Lecturer at the University of West Indies, Barbados. The anesthesia department of QEH provides training for undergraduate and postgraduate students of University of West Indies. The postgraduate training in Anesthesia consists of a three year DM program. In addition to postgraduate clinical training, I was also involved in didactic teaching and conducting weekly clinical conferences.

Educational Material: Websites: www.Capnography.com Preparation time: >1000 hours 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 “Anesthesiology (October 2001), British Journal of Anesthesia (October 2001) and Journal of Neurosurgical anesthesiology (October 2001). It has been summarized as a great teaching contribution on capnography and being more advantageous than a text book. Web based patient education: www.painfreebirthing.com Preparation time: > 400 hours Designed, programmed, and produced a 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. The patients can access the information at home or in the labor and delivery suites equipped with computer Internet access such as ours. This patient educational website was demonstrated at a recently concluded Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology. Anesthesia video Film for Govt.

Women’s Health and Education Center (WHEC) denounces scam e-mails falsely implying association or affiliation with WHEC. Various scam e-mails purporting or implying to be from or associated with the Women’s Health and Education Center (WHEC) or its e-learning Project: WomensHealthSection.com, have been circulating on the Internet. Some of these e-mails request detailed information and/or money from individuals, businesses or non-profit organizations with the promise that they will receive funds or other benefits like posting on WomensHealthSection.com, in return. Other e-mails ask for registration fees for conferences/CME courses allegedly sponsored by WHEC. These e-mails sometimes carry the WHEC logo, and emanate from or refer to an e-mail address which is made to look like a WHEC address. These e-mails do not emanate from WHEC, and are not in any way associated with WHEC projects or events or CME courses. WHEC wishes to warn the public of these misleading practices, and suggests that recipients of invitations such as those described above (whether sent by e-mail or communicated in any other way) verify their authenticity before sending any response. In particular, WHEC suggests that recipients do not send money or personal information in response to invitations from anyone who claims to be awarding funds, grants, scholarships, certificates, lottery winnings, or prizes, and/or who requests payment for registration fees and hotel-rooms reservations, in the name of WHEC. It is not WHEC policy to charge for attendance at meetings. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of an e-mail, letter or phone call purportedly from, for or on behalf of WHEC, please contact us. WHEC is trying to put a halt to these misleading practices, and we would therefore greatly appreciate your help in bringing suspect communications to our attention.Read More
Dr. James F. Phillips Senior Lecturer Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University 60 Haven Avenue, B-317 New York, NY 10032 email – jfp2113@columbia.edu James F. Phillips is a senior associate in the Population Council’s Policy Research Division. He previously worked in the Population Council’s International Programs Division in Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Thailand. Prior to his work with the Population Council, Phillips held positions in Nigeria with the International Committee of the Red Cross and UNICEF. Dr. Phillips conducts field experiments that measure the demographic role of family planning and child survival programs. He directed Bangladesh’s Matlab Community Health and Family Planning Project which demonstrated the demographic potential of family planning services in that country. The Matlab service model became the basis for national health reform in the 1980s and 1990s. Dr. Phillips is currently working on a collaborative research program with the Ghana Health Service and the Navrongo Health Research Centre. When the Navrongo Experiment established the feasibility of reducing fertility and mortality with community-based health and family planning services in 1999, a national scaling-up initiative, known as the Community-based Health Planning and Services initiative, was launched to extend the Navrongo service model to all 110 Ghanaian districts. Phillips serves as the senior advisor to the Ghana Health Service for this program, where he collaborates on research designed to guide, refine, and evaluate the scaling-up effort. Dr. Phillips is currently collaborating with his Ghanaian colleagues on a program of exchange that will extend health service innovations from Ghana to Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia. In 2005, Dr. Phillips launched a new collaborative venture with the Vietnam Ministry of Health that aims to apply evidence-based planning methods to health reform in that country. Dr. Phillips is a member of several international science advisory boards and has launched scientific research networks on issues related to health sector reform, reproductive health, and demographic research methodology. He holds an M.S. degree in population studies from the University of Hawaii, and a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Michigan. Phillips has published books on the evaluation of family planning programs, the demography of South Asia, and population policy in Bangladesh. He has journal publications on the demography of Asia and Africa, health policy, computer science, and other topics.Read More
