0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome back to ACRAC. I'm Jed Wollplough, and we've got another fantastic |
0:18.2 | show for you today. This is really cutting-edge stuff. I have the privilege of welcoming |
0:21.9 | back. Yes, he's back, Dr. Micah Sando from the Ohio State University Department of |
0:26.6 | Anesthesiology, frequent listeners will, of course, know Dr. Sando has been on many times |
0:32.0 | and has done incredible work in the Cardiac Space, and really excited to have with him one |
0:37.4 | of the interns at Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Anesthesiology, Dr. Nick Kumar, |
0:42.9 | who did a really great systematic review with Dr. Sando of the topic we're going to be discussing, |
0:48.0 | so we're going to have them both on and really have some great discussion about this. |
0:51.3 | And the topic is pulmonary artery pulsatility index, which, as it turns out, is kind of really |
0:56.7 | a cutting-edge new tool we'll learn a lot about today for predicting right ventricular |
1:00.6 | failure, especially after LVAD implantation. So for folks who do Cardiac or just for folks |
1:06.2 | who are more and more, of course, taking care of patients with Cardiac issues, or maybe |
1:10.5 | even who have had devices like LVAD, this is going to be really, really helpful. So welcome |

1:27.3 | ICREC. Thank you, Dr. Justin, for the kind of words, |
1:29.5 | and thank you, Dr. Walpole, for having me on to there. |
1:31.7 | Absolutely. And I'll just say for listeners who may be wondering how these two got connected. |
1:36.6 | So Nick did his, I think, both undergrad and medical school at Ohio State, and did some |
1:41.2 | really just great work. It turns out, as an anesthesia tech, while he was doing those things. |
1:46.3 | And so I was in the Cardiac ORs, met Dr. Sando that way, and then they hooked up for |
1:51.4 | this systematic review, while Nick went on to do his training in Boston. So really great |
