Summary
- I have had a long-standing involvement with geriatric anesthesia, including work with the American Geriatrics Association in their efforts to enhance interest in geriatrics in surgical and related specialties. I was founding President of the Society for the Advancement of Geriatric Anesthesia and have been a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Geriatric Anesthesia since 1994. In the last decade I spearheaded a clinical service in which anesthesiologists became trained to manage pacemakers and ICDs in the perioperative period. The service currently manages at least 98% of the devices in patients presenting for a procedure.
