Performed surgery on more critical or complex patients such as those with porto-systemic shunts. Provided support on critical medical cases as well as surgical by phone when not there. Provided educational meetings with hospital staff and partner hospitals staff on practical critical and emergency care. Working to help the hospital to provide 24-hour care.

Worked with Dr. Kurt Mychajlonka who is the practice owner, as well as Drs. Jim Nave and Bill Hoefle. Exit was due to Dr. Hoefle bringing in a full time surgeon that he had helped in his training at Iowa State University.

Canine Resuscitation from Shock: An update for the practitioner: The concept that a combination of hypertonic saline and a hemoglobin based oxygen carrying colloid and using Doppler "field assessed" blood flow as the main indicator of sufficient resuscitation and the concept that colloids are significantly superior to crystalloids in the treatment of severe shock (class 3 or higher). Blood flow is more important than pressure was also suggested. Crowe DT Advances in Critical Care Medicine: Vet Practitioners, Inc., Dec 2003

Canine Resuscitation from Shock: An update for the specialist: The concept of limited resuscitation, especially with HBOCs, in those patients suggestive of having a continued hemorrhage, and only enough volume given to produce Doppler flow; surgery is then performed to control the hemorrhage. Further resuscitation is then accomplished as required, bringing blood pressure back to normal or above. The use of human albumin 5% and 25% for resuscitation and hypoalbuminemia was also suggested. Crowe DT Advances in Critical Care Medicine: Vet Specialists, Inc., Dec 2003

The Use of Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers in Life Treating Hemorrhage (first limited to only that amount needed to sustain life but then after the stoppage of the bleeding then full resuscitation). Also the use of HBOCs for the treatment of global as well as local but key ischemia such as seen with spinal cord injury, local GI blood flow compromising conditions, tissue flap compromises, and pancreatitis.

RESIDENTS, INTERNS, and EXTERNS MENTORED:

Have been involved in the direct training of over 80 interns and 35 residents in the fields of small animal surgery, and emergency and critical care. Residents from other specialties have done rotations with me for over 20 years. I have mentored approximately 200 students that have a special interest in emergency surgery and critical care. First residents in emergency care at UGA were Bruce Silverman DVM and Kathy Robello DVM. They both began knowing the training program was in its infancy. The program was without funding so the worked in Atlanta at an emergency clinic 2 days a week and were with me 3 days a week. Was the organizer and director of a volunteer student "Shock Trauma Team" made up of vet students interested in helping with the special care needed by emergency cases at UGA at night and weekends. I did this for 9 years.

Dr. Jan Kovacic was my first resident who became board certified in ACVECC. Many other gifted veterinarians I have had the opportunity to take a part in their Emergency and Critical Care training. These have included Drs. Devey, Rudloff, Spreng, Barton, Lichtenburg, Leonard, Mueller, Purvis, Otto, Proulx and others who now have resident training programs of their own. I continue to have students and veterinarians visit and work with me for a few days to more than a few months from vet schools around the world. Last visitors were from Brazil (2002) and Portugal (2004) .
