Our Mission Extraordinary care through a unique culture of innovation, education, research, and professional growth.
Chairman's Welcome
One of our greatest strengths as a department is our ability to use innovative thinking to propel us forward in addressing both old and new challenges. It is flexibility, along with our ambition, sense of reverence, ingenuity, and humanity, which enables us to grow. As a department, we are continuously developing—and not just in a metaphorical sense. The background noise provided by construction machinery we work in concert with daily serves as a reminder of progress. Our vision of becoming a world leader in advancing perioperative medicine and pain management is one that we continually strive toward. We have shown signs of annual progress in attaining this goal. At home, we seek out ways to better treat our patients. We have become more attuned to the needs of the U.S. Military as thousands of young war veterans, often amputees, return home from war in need of the advanced pain management care we can provide. We continue to establish our identity on a global level, as alumni, faculty, residents and fellows become increasingly involved in missions overseas and explore exciting new educational tools with the potential to change how we learn.
This year we celebrate the opening of our exciting new hybrid OR, as well as four new cardiac operating rooms. We anxiously await the unveiling of several more state-of-the-art facilities in 2013, with the opening of the new Duke Medicine Pavilion and Cancer Center. We are excited not only for the advanced level of patient care these facilities will make possible, but also for the quiet work atmosphere which will be restored to us upon its completion. I am delighted to share this edition of BluePrint with you. I hope that as you flip through the pages, you will share in my pride of this department and the outstanding qualities that make us unique. Sincerely,
Mark F. Newman, MD Merel H. Harmel Professor of Anesthesiology and Professor of Medicine Chairman, Department of Anesthesiology
In addition to celebrating our current achievements, we look to the past for clues on how to increase our efficacy. Our alumni not only provide us with an important support system, they serve as ambassadors of our department. We continue to establish endowed professorships that honor eminent leaders and encourage current and future faculty to pursue similar greatness.

take a look at J. Brandon Winchester, MD’s video equipment setup, precariously assembled by layer upon layer of silk tape, and you will see innovation at work.
Listen to Ellen Flanagan, MD, recount her experiences in Haiti offering humanitarian aid to the victims of the earthquake, or David MacLeod, MB BS, talk about his plans to travel to Mount Everest to engage in altitude research, and you will detect a remarkable spirit of ambition and adventure. Should you find yourself in the care of an anesthesia fellow or resident, you will experience firsthand the compassion and expertise these highly trained physicians have to offer. What do all of these people have in common? They all play a role in the Division of Orthopedics, Plastics, and Regional Anesthesiology, also known simply as Regional Anesthesia. They are exemplary of the innovation, ambition, compassion, and level of expertise that has empowered this division to become one of the leading regional anesthesia programs in the nation.
INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS The division is constantly challenging itself to discover more effective ways to manage postoperative pain. Brian Ginsberg, MB ChB, director of Acute Pain Services, is internationally known as one of the earliest advocates of multimodal analgesia. Additionally, Ellen Flanagan, MD, recently developed a topical formulation of the long-acting local anesthetic, ropivicaine, used to treat painful oral mucositis or ulcerations 10
common in patients undergoing chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation. Currently, the only drug on the market provides less than one-hour of pain relief. This topical formulation, on the other hand, can provide up to six hours of relief. Regional Anesthesia has been providing superior pain management for Duke’s Acute Pain Services for the past two decades, performing far more nerve blocks than the vast majority of institutions—5,000 to 7,500 a year. Many are performed on those undergoing total joint replacement surgery. Ultrasound Technology
Furthermore, the use of peripheral nerve blocks increases the level of patient safety simply by eliminating the need for additional procedures associated with general anesthesia, such as airway manipulation and intubation. In addition, the need for IV and oral narcotics is often reduced in the perioperative period, resulting in fewer incidences of pain, nausea, and vomiting. Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging
The division was recently awarded the prestigious Coulter Grant for translational research to investigate the use of a new ultrasound technology known as Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging. This type of ultrasound produces an extremely clear image. Stuart Grant MB ChB, and a team within the
In 2001, Duke was one of the first institutions to utilize ultrasound technology to administer peripheral nerve blocks. Ultrasound allows physicians to see the position of the needle relative to the nerve, making it easy to monitor the spread of the local anesthetic and identify the peripheral nerves they wish to block, as well as structures that they wish to avoid (such as major blood vessels and the pleura). The use of ultrasound has increased the success rate of nerve blocks at Duke to 95 percent—a dramatic improvement when compared to peripheral Brian Ginsberg, MB ChB, (right) is internationally known as one of the nerve stimulation, the earliest advocates of multimodal analgesia. former standard.
Division Spotlight: Regional Anesthesia
division have been working on the continued development and application of this technology in conjunction with a team led by Mark Palmeri, MD, PhD, assistant research professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke. Peripheral Nerve Block Catheters
In addition to the use of ultrasound, Duke was one of the first institutions to utilize continuous peripheral nerve block catheters. These catheters continuously infuse anesthetics in the postoperative period through a dedicated pain pump. Patients recovering from surgeries, such as ankle and shoulder replacements, can now go home with a disposable pain pump that will last three-days. These patients are given detailed information regarding the care of their pain pump and catheter, and are closely monitored by Acute Pain Services. As a result, more hospital beds are available for those who need them, and patients have a convenient way to manage their pain from the comfort of their home.
RESEARCH The division is looking for research collaboration in areas of chronic pain. Duke is currently investigating whether a continuous peripheral nerve block throughout the perioperative period will adequately treat acute pain and subsequently prevent developing chronic pain. With the success of peripheral nerve block catheters, the division is working on is what could be the next big step in pain management: slow release local anesthetics. This would eliminate the use of a catheter, thereby cutting down on the risk of infection. Perioperative Database
Furthermore, they are undertaking a research project to look at

whether the avoidance of general anesthesia will have an effect on postoperative cognitive decline, similar to what has been demonstrated in previous studies. The new departmental perioperative database is expected to launch later this year. One of the major emphases of this database will be to examine outcomes research including: mortality, functional outcome, acute and chronic pain, and postoperative cognitive decline. This technology will provide a full-time researcher with a fascinating opportunity for a long-term, in depth study.
cerebral devices. HPL Investigators are involved in many other phase one pharmacological trials. The division is looking for additional ways to engage with industry to study pharmacological devices. The lab also offers a unique opportunity for a young MD or PhD investigator to begin a career in medical research.
Human Pharmacology Lab
The Human Pharmacology Lab (HPL), directed by MacLeod, is a phase one research lab that uses arterial lines, pulmonary artery catheters, and advanced respiratory monitors to study the effects of anesthesia on healthy volunteers. Researchers, like Keita Ikeda, PhD, utilize the lab to study devices like RespirAct速, a computer controlled gas delivery system that allows the precise control of end-tidal concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide. RespirAct速 is used in the calibration of new
The introduction of ultrasound has increased the success rate of nerve blocks at Duke to 95%.

EDUCATION Regional Anesthesia is attracting some of the brightest minds the medical community has to offer. In their three years at Duke, residents perform four times as many peripheral nerve blocks as the average resident and receive maximum hands-on exposure to advanced nerve blocks. Upon completion of the program, students are highly familiar with: neuroanatomy, the peripheral nervous system anatomy, the use of ultrasound in the execution of a nerve block, symptoms of local anesthetic toxicity, and effective clinical management. Regional Anesthesia offers a fellowship program in conjunction with the Ambulatory Surgical Center. This nationally acclaimed fellowship program trains two to three fellows annually. At the conclusion of this training, many of the fellows advance to leadership positions at other institutions. 12

Regional Anesthesia also provides a significant amount of Continuing Medical Education (CME) training completed by physicians worldwide. They are currently exploring innovative teaching methods that are forecasted to change the way students and health care providers learn, both at Duke and abroad. Grant, Winchester, and Joshua Dooley, MD, are collaborating on a project known as Duke Advance. This new technology will encompass a repository of the division’s educational material, grand round lectures, educational conference notes, and CME material, serving as a invaluable resource to the medical community. After Duke Advance has been in place for a significant period of time, it will become key to scientifically evaluate the success of this new educational tool.

Innovation & Education
Web Casting Multimedia Education at Duke Anesthesiology at Duke: Part One J. Brandon Winchester, MD Director of Web Video Education, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology Katherine Grichnik, MD Professor of Anesthesiology
Traditional educational venues utilize primarily didactic teaching methods in the form of lectures, or Socratic teaching methods, in which trainees are questioned in a clinical setting. With the knowledge that every physician has an individual learning and communication style, Duke Anesthesiology has developed blended educational programs (information presented through multiple formats), which have proven to be far more effective in facilitating learning than unimodal presentations. Our technological capabilities have progressed and sharpened. We are now able to provide web based education not only to learners here at Duke, but to select audiences around the world. This article, part one of two articles, is about live web casting for regional anesthesia education. Part two will discuss the process of capturing, editing, and delivering other types of educational formats including: live lectures, desktop media, and educational movies. 13
Duke Anesthesiology BluePrint | BluePrint.duhs.duke.edu
How did this all come about? The Winchester story in his own words. Last summer from my 104 degree garage in front of a green screen, I made a web cast of an ultrasoundguided regional anesthesia lecture series to a group of physicians in China with a live Mandarin interpreter sweating profusely beside me. I learned many important lessons that day: lectures do not have to happen in person to still be effective; the value of American medical education travels well beyond the borders of our nation; and wearing a suit and tie in a 104 degree garage is a very bad idea. Most importantly, I learned that I wanted to find out more about live Internet streaming and medical web video education… and I bought an air-conditioner for my garage. Why will web based education work for regional anesthesia education? In their Practice Pathway in the Jan/Feb 2009 issue of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, Sites B et al. state that “the novice’s initial clinical experience (should) be monitored and supported by an individual experienced in ultrasound-guided 14
regional anesthesia (UGRA).” Like learning a new language, regional anesthesia education requires exposure, repetition, and practice to be maximally beneficial. Until now, such repetition and exposure was not possible unless you were a resident or fellow, or you were fortunate enough to have an experienced regional anesthesia provider in your group who could provide mentoring. Sure, anesthesiologists have the option to attend a two-day cadaver workshop or a threeday ultrasound preceptorship, but are they returning to their home institution skilled enough to avoid causing a pneumothorax during a supraclavicular block, or to avoid major OR delays while they try to remember the dozen steps they learned to place a continuous popliteal sciatic catheter? Live web video allows regional anesthesiologists to continue their education after these introductory one to two day courses are completed. And for instructors, affordable software and hardware options exist which allow for the creation of live web video in just a few clicks. In the next several paragraphs, I will share with you the key steps involved to live stream regional anesthesia video education to the web.
Web Casting: Multimedia Education
How is this done? Lights, camera, block! The simplest way to create a live video stream of a regional anesthesia procedure is to turn on a camcorder or webcam, connect it to your computer with a video capture card, and use streaming software to encode it live to the web. Although relatively simple, this form of onecamera live video is of limited value when teaching a nerve block. If you only film the big-picture shot, you will miss the high-resolution clarity of the ultrasound image and the fine details of hand positioning seen only with a close-up shot. And if you shoot only the ultrasound image or a close-up shot, it is impossible to appreciate the overall patient position and key actions of the doctor performing the procedure. For that reason, I recommend that live demonstrations utilize multiple simultaneous video inputs. My own live nerve block demonstrations usually involve four inputs: 1) a bigpicture camcorder to see the overall patient and doctor positioning, 2) a close-up camera to appreciate hand and needle positioning, 3) an ultrasound input (when applicable), and 4) a PowerPoint presentation. To switch between multiple inputs in real time and live stream, the
Innovation & Education
output to the web requires a video switcher. For the budget conscious doctor, there are multiple software and hardware options that can accomplish this task. What is web casting? Streaming live to a computer near you….or China. Using a switcher to capture and live encode multi-camera video is only half the battle for live streaming. In order for the video to be seen by your target audience around the world, a content delivery network (CDN) must be utilized to deliver video to a web site. There are many providers of live streaming services on the web (see table 1). Some companies’ standard services are free, but
these options typically throttle the maximum resolution, limiting video clarity to your audience. What appears to be an excellent view of a femoral nerve to you might look like a Rorschach inkblot test to your web viewers. Free streaming services also come at the expense of control. Producers such as anesthesiology departments and Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs cannot control who logs in to view the broadcast and they do not have control over advertisements that play over the videos. Therefore, these are not good options for live medical education. Fortunately, there are many reasonably priced, white label live streaming services, which give full control back to the doctor producing the video (see table 1). You control the web site destinations of your live-streamed video, the users who are able to login to the site, and what advertisements do or do not play. This includes the ability to self-serve a preroll advertisement for your department’s own CME courses. Time-out! Permission to stream: name, procedure and consent. Before you click “go live,” it is important that you have all the appropriate consents to live
stream a procedure. First, and foremost, you need the patient to consent to the videography and live web dissemination by having him or her sign a protected health information release form (speak to your hospital compliance office to formalize one for your institution). Although you should make every effort to de-identify the patient in every case, there are no “do-over’s” in live demonstration; therefore, the safest plan is to have the patient sign a HIPAA release. Next, you must consult with your risk management division to obtain the permission of your department and hospital. When considering your request, risk management will undoubtedly ask you, “Who is going to be able to watch this live procedural web cast?” If your answer is, “anyone in the world who visits our web site,” your request will probably be denied. Therefore, it is imperative to implement a mechanism to control your audience access by ensuring a login process on the web site where you will stream. Ultimately, your risk management team will assess the overall risk associated with your web casting plan, and it will be the role of your department chairman to authorize the broadcasts and to assume responsibility. 15

Live streaming regional anesthesia education has no value if there is no one watching. It is critical to alert prospective viewers that you are going to be on the air, but without bloating your budget by hiring a PR agency. Fortunately, many free and inexpensive avenues exist to let your potential fan club know when to tune in to your show. Your web site should post your calendar of upcoming live events. And every scheduled web cast should give your viewers the option to RSVP for the event in advance (table 2). This action will create a mailing list with which you can send reminder emails as the web cast approaches. Social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook allow you to update your followers about your upcoming calendar of events and your viewers can even opt to receive text messages and emails when you post an update. These instant Twitter and Facebook updates are especially helpful to alert viewers when you are about to go live for a non-scheduled event, such as an interscalene nerve block where there is no way to predict in advance the exact time you will start the procedure.
a web cast is best accomplished using text chat rooms and polls, both of which can be embedded with widgets that reside next to the live streaming video window on your chosen web site. Regional anesthesia web video education: conclusion This article highlights the value of live web video for regional anesthesia education and the methods by which it can be accomplished. I have discussed inexpensive social networking options for promoting your live events and impromptu web casts, and I also reviewed multiple methods for communicating with your audience in real-time. We hope that this article will stimulate interest among potential medical video producers and will motivate the world’s best regional anesthesia instructors to bring their live message to the web. Like the shortcomings of regional anesthesia workshops, I realize that this live streaming overview is less than a comprehensive education on the topic. I encourage anyone who would like more information to contact me directly via any of my listed social networking avenues. I would welcome the opportunity to relax in my air-conditioned garage and video chat with you about it via Skype.
Audience interaction One is often asked the question, “Why stream it live when you can just record it and let someone watch the video any time they want?” While pre-recorded video-ondemand is an important weapon in any web video education arsenal, it is the element of audience interaction that makes live demonstration so special. There are multiple ways to interact with your audience in real-time. Videoconferencing is a fantastic, albeit traditionally very expensive option, and allows zero latency point-to-point video communication. With Skype's introduction of high definition video, a free video chat software application, videoconferencing during a live web cast is now an option for all budgets. But for broadcasts to an audience of five hundred, it is not feasible for all participants to be on the video phone with you simultaneously. Real-time communication with larger audiences during

Next Generation Leaders
Education, the enrichment of minds, is given the highest priority at Duke. The Department of Anesthesiology's acclaimed educational program is known for the significant clinical experience trainees and students obtain under the guidance of world-class faculty, its unique culture of inquiry, a strong research environment, and its commitment to technology in research, clinical care, and education. The beautiful Gothic campus of the Duke Blue Devils is located in Durham, North Carolina. Although Durham exudes the charm of a classic Southeastern city, it is actually a rapidly growing hot spot for some of the most innovative minds. Durham, along with Raleigh and Chapel Hill, makes up what is referred to as the Triangle. Poised perfectly between the North and South, the mountains and ocean, and the countryside and city, this location truly has something for everyone. In addition to its favorable geographic
location, the Triangle is home to the world-famous Research Triangle Park (RTP), and several major universities. As a world leader in the field of medicine, Duke University draws faculty, students, and patients from around the globe. In addition to the culturally rich environment, trainees have several resources close at hand including Duke Medicine's state-of-the-art facilities. Medical students, residents, and fellows alike acquire hands-on experience working at the rapidly expanding Duke University Health System. 17
The Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center is comprised of two simulation rooms, a multimedia classroom, and a high-tech communications and control room. This lab enables medical students, residents, and fellows to learn valuable skills before using them on real patients—increasing the level of efficacy and decreasing the level of error.

Medical school students receive significant exposure to anesthesiology early in their training due to the heavy involvement of anesthesiology faculty members in the first-year basic science curriculum. Additionally, all students complete a cardiovascular physiology lab in a unique training facility of the department—the Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center (HSPSC). There

while enrolled in DUMS, typically one to four students choose to stay at Duke for their residency. The application process for anesthesiology residency is similar to the application for medical school, with an initial online application process followed by personal interviews. It is also similar in that it is extremely competitive. Applicants must display excellent achievement in medical school, in addition to diverse life experience, an altruistic nature, and an inquisitive approach to life. From an initial pool of 800 applicants, 14 residents eventually match with the Duke Anesthesiology program. Upon entry into the program, residents are provided with a faculty advisor who works with them during their time at Duke to help build an individualized study plan that will be useful throughout the entire
course of their career. In addition to a faculty mentor, junior residents are paired with senior residents to help guide their transition from medical student to resident. Faculty members employ a wide variety of different teaching modalities specifically aimed at residents. Didactic experience is provided through a dedicated weekly resident lecture series, a weekly department grand rounds presentation, monthly journal club and morbidity and mortality conferences. Residents gain valuable experience from simulation activities, both in the HSPSC (which they receive exposure to quarterly), and with the Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Simulator Program. Simulator programs help prepare residents for the challenging patient population (often featuring extremes of age, and/or high acuity) they are exposed to while at Duke.

In addition to a challenging patient demographic, residents are exposed to cutting-edge surgical procedures. Some examples include cardiothoracic surgeries with circulatory arrest, awake craniotomies, complex neurovascular cases, peripheral nerve blocks, and transplant surgeries. The typical resident completes between 500 and 600 clinical cases a year. After completion of the program, graduates are confident in their ability to work independently in any setting. Nearly 100 percent of residents pass their boards on the first try.

Faculty members do their best to help develop and nurture the career paths of residents. Residents with an interest in developing academic anesthesiology careers are provided with a unique opportunity through the Academic Career Enrichment Scholars (ACES) program, a special curriculum that combines all of the requirements of an internship, the core residency, a sub-specialty fellowship, and a year of dedicated research time over the course of five years. Additionally, there are several international opportunities for residents with an interest in global medicine. In the past, Duke Anesthesiology has had multiple winners of the Society for Education in Anesthesia (SEA)/Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) Traveling Fellowship, an honor which provides students with the opportunity for advanced training abroad. Additionally, several departmental faculty and residents have traveled to Ghana, Uganda, Russia, Haiti, and Central America in a variety of global health initiatives.

Several of the fellowships within Duke Anesthesiology are accredited through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The fellowship in Cardiothoracic Anesthesia is the most comprehensive program in the country, providing an unrivaled balance between clinical exposure and academic development. In 2009, Duke University Hospital performed approximately 1,200 thoracic surgeries, 1,600 cardiac surgeries, and 5,600 cardiac catheterizations. The TEE training program is an integral part of both the Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Fellowship and the Critical Care Fellowship. Duke Anesthesiology is also well-known for its Pain Management Fellowship Program, where fellows not only learn pain management techniques and the use of the fluoroscope, but advanced interventional techniques, such as spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency lesioning, intrathecal pump insertion, diagnostic discography, and neuro-ablative techniques for cancer pain management as well.
Number of outpatient visits in 2009
There are eight different fellowship programs within Duke Anesthesiology: Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, Critical Care Medicine, Pain Management, Pediatric Anesthesia, Neuroanesthesia, Regional and Ambulatory Anesthesia, Obstetric Anesthesia, and Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine. Duke Anesthesiology currently has over 20 fellows.
Recently, Duke Anesthesiology has placed increased emphasis on research productivity during fellowship training. Each fellow now identifies a specific research project to pursue during his or her fellowship time. Fellows develop strong bonds within their own fellowship programs, as well as a group identity thanks to a bi-weekly core fellow seminar series. These seminars cover topics like the principles of research, mentorship, patient safety topics, and how to succeed at oral exams. Individuals interested in the fellowship program must apply online or submit a written application. If approved, the written application is followed by a face-to-face interview.

UPRIGHT BURDENS
Most of us will experience back pain in our lives, but for most of us this pain is resolved on its own in a few weeks. Of people who see a doctor for lingering back pain, medication and physical therapy will usually do the trick. Only a fraction will ultimately need surgery to treat their troubled spine. Winston C. V. Parris, MD And of those who undergo surgery, 95 percent will enjoy a much improved quality of life after the procedure. Parris notes that there are a variety of ways to treat back pain, many of which incorporate exercise, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes. The Duke Pain Clinic is one of the few places in the United States that offers a new procedure called percutaneous neuroplasty to patients with spinal stenosis and failed back surgery.
The Duke Pain Of the millions of Americans who say they live with pain every day, the most common source of pain is in the low back. Winston Parris, MD, says the back, by design, is the perfect place for chronic pain to start. “The good Lord made us, tragically, on two legs,” he says.
places in the United States that offers
“Twenty years ago, everyone
a new procedure called percutaneous with back pain essentially got the same procedure or the same neuroplasty to patients with spinal pain medicine,” he says. “Now physicians know how to tailor their approach to what’s going on in each patient’s body.”
stenosis and failed back surgery.
Walking upright means the network of 33 vertebrae that protect our spinal cords endure more pressure than the spines of four or more legged animals. As a result, over the course of a lifetime, almost every human spine suffers degenerative changes in either the vertebra or the disks between them. These disks—the spine’s shock absorbers—are often ground zero for back problems. When a disk begins to wear down, it begins to swell, "bulging like a boxer’s punched lip,"says Parris. That swelling puts pressure on the nerves nearby, radiating pain as far out as your leg. Herniated disks are one of the most common causes of back pain, but they certainly are not the only one. Spinal stenosis, which is pain resulting from a narrowing of the spinal cord, is a common condition that occurs after injury or surgery or as a part of the aging process; it’s the most common reason for back surgery in people over age 60.
22
This treatment, which involves injecting a solution into the affected area of the spinal column, can offer significant relief where traditional approaches to Clinic is one of the few spinal pain have failed.
When to Seek Specialized Pain Care Most cases of back pain can be treated by your primary care provider and will abate in about six weeks, according to Duke back pain experts. You might need specialized attention if you experience: * Severe or persistent radiating pain: back pain that radiates to your legs or that’s accompanied by tingling, pain, or numbness in the arms or legs. * Sudden changes in pain, such as if you’ve had pain while standing or walking and suddenly develop sharp pain shooting down a leg or arm. * Pain accompanied by other symptoms, such as significant weakness in the legs, problems with walking, bowel and bladder issues, weight loss, or fever. Parris says that if you are experiencing pain of any sort that has persisted for three months or more—and you’ve already received treatment from a specialist—it’s time to seek out the services of a pain doctor.

New Tactics in the WAR on Pain
Q
uick trivia question: How many horses has General Petraeus, recently appointed commander of American forces in Afghanistan, had shot out from under him in comparison to Civil War Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest? The answer: General Bedford Forrest has him beat by 30. It isn’t much of a competition, however, considering that General Petraeus has never had a horse shot out from under him. That’s because generals don’t typically ride horses on the battlefield anymore. If this comes as a great shock to you, pause to consider: when was the last time you saw soldiers armed with bayonets engaged in hand-to-hand combat on the news? Soldiers don’t tend to cook their meals over an open fire, play dominoes in their free time, or send messages to their loved ones back home via telegram anymore either. The nature of war has changed dramatically over the past 150 years. So why is it that our modern day soldiers are being treated with essentially the same pain management techniques employed in the Civil War? 23
Duke Anesthesiology BluePrint | BluePrint.duhs.duke.edu
Battlefield Medicine Historically, physicians working with the military have adopted a, “one size fits all” attitude toward pain management. Soldiers are still being treated primarily with aspirin, morphine, and various derivatives to cope with their pain on the battlefield— essentially the same concoction that has been used to treat battlefield pain for years. This approach has proven itself to be unsuccessful time and time again. Here at Duke, we believe that it’s time to change our strategy.
Technology: The Pros and Cons Thanks to major advancements in technology and medicine, the number of war casualties from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) are lower than ever. Due to the high level of protection provided by modern body armor, soldiers are more likely to survive injuries sustained on the battlefield. Opposing forces, have adapted by tailoring improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to maim rather than to kill. Soldiers are not dying as frequently, but they are sustaining a higher number of peripheral limb blast injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
The Problem With Pain The acute, or sudden sharp pain, veterans experience as a result of these injuries is likely to develop into chronic pain, which can last for years after the actual injury has healed. Opioids like morphine, the current standard in battlefield medicine, are only good at relieving short-term acute pain. They do not remove pain, but they help an individual keep it at a manageable level. The main problem with opioids is that it doesn’t take very long before a patient will build up a tolerance
toward the drug. In other words, it will require more and more of the drug, and it will become less and less effective. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that if acute pain goes untreated, or is treated inadequately, it could lead to chronic pain and affect survival rate. In addition to dramatically decreased quality of life due to constant pain and addiction, opioid use can cause several negative social behaviors to develop. Veterans unable to work may be tempted to sell their medications illegally for their potentially high street value. Homelessness in the veteran population is also common—the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) funds almost 500 homeless shelters. Suicide, sought out by those who cannot cope with overwhelming mental and physical pain, is equally prevalent. These problems are becoming critical as hundreds of young war veterans, both male and female, are returning home each year with debilitating injuries that often require amputation. Soldiers and their families, a group that traditionally considered pain to be a weakness that could be overcome by mental fortitude, are now asking for help.
The War Against Chronic Pain The effort to help solve the problem of chronic pain began at Duke when Duke Anesthesiology alumnus and chief of the Army Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management Initiative at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Chester C. “Trip” Buckenmaier, III, MD, began to advocate for help. The development of chronic pain is a significant problem for the U.S. Military, particularly the Army, the branch that has incurred the largest number of blast related injuries. Not only does chronic pain take a huge toll on the individual soldier and his or her family, treating chronic pain and the various problems associated with it are incredibly expensive. This is a problem not just for our military— it’s a problem for our nation. Military physicians like Buckenmaier are interested in Duke because of our expertise in perioperative and critical care medicine. Our doctors have experience caring for a large volume of patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Although the connection may seem strange, there are many similarities between
24
New Tactics In The War of Pain
Research the pain experienced after a thoracotomy, and the pain experienced as a result of an amputation. Surgery is actually nothing other than a controlled injury. Both procedures involve large, unilateral peripheral nerve damage. They probably share a common pathophysiology (or cause), and are equally disabling. This relationship has not been well studied in the past, but researchers at Duke believe that through further investigation, we can find novel solutions to this type of pain.
Duke Responds Two organizations have been created to address this problem. A new center for perioperative medicine based at the Durham VA Medical Center is investing in research studies aimed at improving our knowledge of the epidemiology and treatment of pain by studying how patients recover after serious injury and surgery. In parallel, the Durham VA Medical Center is opening new clinics specifically dedicated to working with amputees and post-thoracotomy patients. A new 10,000 square foot lab, scheduled to open at the Durham VA Medical Center in 2010, will focus on the basic science portion of this study. Researchers involved with Veterans Injury Pain Research (VIPR) are looking to pharmacogenetics, (a branch of pharmacology that studies the interrelation of hereditary constitution and response to drugs) for answers. Research suggests that people may have what is known as a pain group, a concept very similar to that of a blood type. The theory states that if physicians can identify a patient’s pain group, they will be able to identify not only what kind of drugs individuals will respond most favorably to, but exactly how much of the drug is required to produce the best possible outcome. An individual’s pain type could be determined by studying genetic predictors, variations in their DNA sequence. This information could easily be obtained through a blood or saliva test. After completing this test, soldiers about to deploy would be armed with something almost as valuable as the armor they wear—the knowledge they need to obtain the best possible treatment should they become injured in the line of duty.
and regeneration, has partnered with colleagues David MacLeod, MB BS, an acute pain specialist, Thomas Buchheit, MD, a chronic pain specialist, and others in the creation of a research project that will enable these individuals to further study this hypothesis. The main goal of their study is to gain an understanding of why some people develop one kind of chronic pain, and others develop another completely different type of pain. If successful, this knowledge will provide them with a better understanding of the biological causes of pain syndromes as they develop, enabling them to raise novel drug targets that focus on personalized medicine. In July 2010, Shaw and his group were awarded a three-year, $1.5M grant from the Department of Defense (DOD) for their research study, “Molecular Signatures of Chronic Pain Subtypes.”
A Personal Mission In studying the transition from acute to chronic pain, Duke physicians are not only helping our military, but humanity in general. Chronic pain can affect anyone. The results of this exciting research will have a widespread impact. To many, however, it is just as important on an individual level. According to Shaw, “the fundamental tenet of medical practice is to cure disease and relieve pain and suffering,” a goal Shaw considers to be far more important than simply, “observing physiological effects.” Work that will impact even just the life of one individual is still a worthy cause. When asked why he deems this study to be of great consequence, Shaw replied, “I believe it’s important to try and give something back. Our soldiers go and put their lives at risk for us. If we can do anything to try to relieve the inevitable pain our wounded heroes face when they come back, then I think that’s a goal worthy of significant effort on our part.”

A Stellar Career Behind Him, Reves Sails Into the Sunset By Jim Rogalski
He helped pioneer modern anesthesiology, co-founded the Duke Heart Center, developed Duke Anesthesiology into one of the best anesthesiology departments in the country, and upped the ante of national respect for the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) College of Medicine. So, it was fitting when shortly after Joseph “Jerry” Reves, MD, retired June 30 as vice president for Medical Affairs, dean, and professor at the MUSC College of Medicine, he and his wife Jenny sailed off into the sunset. Well, actually they motored off into the sunset on July 6, 2010 on their 41-foot motorboat named Sweetgrass. Their destination is the 5,500 mile long Great Loop that will take them from Charleston, S.C. through the Chesapeake, to the Hudson River, the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River, around the tip of Florida, and back to Charleston. They plan to complete the journey in sections. “Seeing America's earliest states and towns from the water seems like a great way to sail into the next phase of our lives,” he says. “Taking an extended cruise with Jenny and our Labrador is just the next adventure in a life full of them.” The relaxation Reves will enjoy on the trip is well earned. His career has been a chain of milestone accomplishments, linked, he says, by the robust and enduring influence of his 17 years at Duke. He first gained international recognition in 1975 26
while associate professor of anesthesiology at the University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB). Reves was the first physician in the world to use the sedative midazolam (Versed) on a surgery patient. Today, Versed is one of the most common anesthetics used around the world. “It was approved by the FDA the year I came to Duke (1984) and I continued to do a lot of research on it,” Reves says. “It became a very important drug, and when I stepped down as the head of the Duke Heart Center in 1997, Roche (the company that makes the drug) endowed the Duke Heart Center Lectureship. I made them a lot of money and they gave Duke a little something in return.” Reves co-founded the Duke Heart Center in 1987 with then-chairman of the Department of Surgery, David C. Sabiston Jr., MD, and

Joseph C. Greenfield Jr., MD, then-chair of the Department of Medicine. He served as its director for 10 years. “I remember Joe saying to me, ‘You know, we have a cancer center;\ I don’t know why we don’t have a heart center,’ I said I didn’t know either, so Tom Bashore, MD, (cardiology) and Bob Jones, MD, (cardiac surgery) and I got deputized to figure it out,” Reves says. Three-days before he retired as chancellor of the Medical Center, William G. Anlyan, MD, appointed Reves as the first director of the Duke Heart Center. Just two years prior to that in 1985, Reves was instrumental in the success of Duke’s first-ever heart transplant—the first in North Carolina. Reves designed the anesthesia protocol for the delicate operation on the 55-year-old father of five children. “Heart transplant patients are arguably the sickest patients you’ll take care of,” Reves says, “so you have to be very careful that you don’t give them too much anesthesia, which could kill them, or too little so they might remember.” 28
Reves Sails Into the Sunset
The surgery was successful, and Reves remembers it as a “remarkable demonstration of the close teamwork of the surgeons and anesthesia team.” It also demonstrated how far Reves had taken the Division of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology after just one year as chief. He was named chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology in 1991, and held that position for 10 years. As chairman, Reves created sub-specialties within the department such as obstetrics, neurology, vascular, and pediatrics. His leadership and foresight made Duke Anesthesiology one of the best programs in the country. He says his favorite time at Duke was helping young careers develop. “It was a special time and special things happened. The great thing is, it’s still happening and that is very gratifying.” While honoring Reves at a dinner in April, MUSC assembled nearly a dozen of his former associates who had advanced to become department chairs at universities around the country. They included former Duke house staff officers and faculty: Peter S. A. Glass, MD, HS’87-’88, chairman and professor of the Department of Anesthesiology at The

are trying to do at MUSC,” Reves says. “We want to emulate Duke. We won’t catch Duke, but we can be more like Duke.” Other retirement activities will include serving as an advisor to the Duke DREAM Campaign, and writing a book about staying healthy while cruising. “I want to learn what illnesses and injuries are common for people on boats, get data, and ultimately write an evidence-based book that people will carry on-board to know how to stay healthy.” Reves and his wife, Jenny, have three grown daughters: Virginia, Christy, and Betsy. You can follow their boating adventure on their blog at sweetgrassadventures.com.
While at MUSC from 2001-10, Reves helped its cancer center achieve National Cancer Center Institute designation, earned MUSC the Clinical Translational Science Award, increased its National Institutes of Health funding, and increased the number of minorities enrolled in the medical college. “Much of what is good about Duke, we 29

Joining Forces To Meet A Global Need How YOU can help Duke Anesthesiology achieve its global mission
This year began with a tragedy in Haiti with such profound ramifications that it remains at the forefront of our minds, even as 2010 draws to a close. The entire Duke family was touched by this devastation, and responded with fierce generosity. Duke Anesthesiology is proud to have played a significant role in this effort. Anesthesiologist, David B. MacLeod, MB BS, was one of the first to respond to the mass devastation in Haiti, and played a critical role in organizing the first Duke response team. His quick thinking inspired several other department members to follow suit over the course of the next several months. His selfless generosity serves as an inspiration to many. Anesthesia plays a critical role in global health care, not only in times of crisis, but in day-to-day events, such as childbirth. Things that we consider routine or trivial in the U.S., such as hernia repair, can be life-threatening in third world countries lacking adequate supplies or medical education. There is a great need for the skills possessed by the anesthesiologist abroad. In response, Duke University has taken several large steps to encourage its global presence in countries that need it the most. 36
Joining Forces to Meet A Global Need
In recent months, Duke Anesthesiology has begun to formalize its relationship with the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI). With the support of chairman, Mark F. Newman, MD, the department has opened a pathway for career opportunities in anesthesia and global health in response to an increasing interest in global philanthropy expressed by Duke personnel. Duke Anesthesiology has collaborated with DGHI in the development of a twoyear fellowship program that will allow candidates to spend approximately half of their time in the field, and the remainder in the classroom at Duke earning their masters in global health. Adeyemi “Yemi� Olufolabi, MB BS, from the Division of Women’s Anesthesia, will serve as the program director for this fellowship, which is slated to be in place by July 2011. Anesthesia residents will also have the opportunity to gain early exposure to international work and the various challenges associated with it. Through its growing relationship with DGHI, Duke Anesthesiology will have access to new resources allowing for multidisciplinary collaborative projects appealing to both medical and non-medical personnel,
Outreach & Philanthropy
I DREAM...that our students, our leaders of tomorrow, will partner with their students, their leaders of tomorrow, to remove health disparities that have caused much pain and suffering in low resource areas. -Adeyemi "Yemi" Olufolabi, MB BS
as well as ambitious students. There are multiple opportunities for those willing to travel with a team to a project site. Duke is establishing post-disaster medical relief teams to aid local and national teams with direct medical relief after both natural and allhazard disasters, in addition to partnerships already in place, such as those established with Kybele and Makerere University in Uganda.
Kampala, Uganda An ever-growing departmental global health project is provided by collaboration with Makerere University and Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. It was observed on repeated visits to Uganda made by a team headed by Michael Haglund, MD, PhD, from Duke Surgery, that there was a dire need for further anesthetic and critical care teaching and training assistance in this region. In 2007, Duke Anesthesiology responded with the creation of a program specifically designed to address this need. Thanks to the leadership and passion of Tony Roche, MB ChB, a member of Duke Anesthesiology's General, Vascular, High-Risk Transplant and Critical Care Medicine Division, combined with the tireless devotion of Rebecca Schroeder, MD, an anesthesiologist
employed with the Durham VA Medical Center, Duke Anesthesiology currently undertakes two trips to Kampala per year, in addition to staffing two annual surgical camps. Teams consist of anesthesiologists and CRNAs alike. The key objectives of this mission are the creation of new partnerships with the Emergency Medicine Department at Mulago Hospital and the development of Biomedical Engineering support with training and research collaborations at Duke. Local Ugandan residents and faculty lead research support teams. Multidisciplinary teaching support has been provided though the establishment of an anesthesia officer training program and various perioperative safety programs at Mulago Hospital. In addition, a safe motherhood program with Women’s Health Services in Kampala and Mbarara has been formed. 37
Duke Anesthesiology BluePrint | BluePrint.duhs.duke.edu
Collaboration with other academic institutions is key to the development of these programs. Duke Anesthesiology is currently working closely with Global Partners in Anesthesia and Surgery (a nongovernmental organization based at the University of California, San Francisco), on the development of multiple joint efforts, including a curriculum for Mulago Hospital’s Scholars Program that will be instituted by Health Volunteers Overseas. This major development will open the program to residents from multiple institutions. There is a strong need to expand the alumni and faculty presence in these programs. Volunteers are welcome.
Kybele Non-Profit Organization Locations: Ghana, Turkey, Croatia, Republic of Georgia, Egypt, Romania, Brazil, and Mongolia Kybele (Key-bell-a) is a non-profit organization founded by an anesthesiologist at Wake Forest University. The name is derived from an ancient Turkish fertility goddess. Kybele, the non-profit organization, improves birthing conditions and outcomes for mothers and babies worldwide by providing training and resources to host countries. The emphasis of Kybele’s work is on local capacity building. Kybele uses health care professionals from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe. These professionals work alongside doctors, midwives, and nurses in countries with high birth mortality rates to help make system changes that improve health care safety. For more information on Kybele, visit: www.kybeleworldwide.org. Duke University faculty, alumni, and CRNAs have participated in maternal care improvement projects in Turkey, Croatia, Republic of Georgia, Egypt, and Ghana. Duke Anesthesiology's presence has been particularly strong in Ghana. Under the leadership of Olufolabi, Duke Anesthesiology has returned to Ghana the past four consecutive years. This enthusiastic team has seen dramatic improvements. Earlier in the year, the department celebrated their 2009 successes, including: a 35 percent reduction in maternal death rate, a 36 percent reduction in stillbirths, and the opening of a CRNA training program in their principle medical center, Ridge Hospital, in Accra, Ghana.
Wanted: Helping Hands & Open Hearts Individuals who participate in these teams invariably describe these experiences as rewarding, but warn that they are not for the faint of heart. Veterans caution 38

that as a member of such a small team, those in need of care will vastly outnumber you. Consequently, you will be forced out of your comfort zone. It is impossible to meet such a great need, and at times, the sense of helplessness this engenders can be devastating. When asked if they would do it again, however, volunteers uniformly reply, “in a heartbeat.” The stories of the tragedy and triumphs they return to tell have touched the hearts of many at Duke. Those who remain behind to cover shifts, organize supply and equipment donations, and provide funding, are just as paramount to the success of these teams as the individuals who venture abroad. Over the course of the next year, volunteers involved in Duke Anesthesiology’s global health efforts will be working to develop a base fund for projects, clinical research, and teaching which will have an international impact. Support from many will be required for the overall success of this campaign. To learn more about how to contribute to global efforts at Duke, contact the individuals listed below, or visit the Duke Anesthesiology web site (anesthesia.duhs.duke.edu), which is being updated to include a global health contact link. This will enable dialogue with project leaders for information on future trip participation, avenues for donation, and opportunities to share your ideas concerning project development. Duke Anesthesiology requests your participation in this cause as we combine forces to answer a global call. Special contributor: Sarah L. Stogner

Outreach & Philanthropy
DUKE DREAM CAMPAIGN "When we are dreaming alone it's only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it's the beginning of reality." -Dom Helder Camara
Anesthesiologists are sometimes referred to as the unsung heroes of the medical community. The average patient knows very little about what an anesthesiologist actually does. If all goes well during the procedure, the patient does not remember him. To the average person, the a nesthesiologist is a vague, mysterious benefactor, with an u n c l e ar job description that is notoriously difficult to pronounce, a n d n early impossible to spell. This obscurity presents the field of a n e s t hesiology with a special challenge when attempting to raise p h i l a nthropic support for important medical research. Yet with eve r y c h a l l e nge comes even greater opportunity.
41
About the DREAM Campaign The Developing Research Excellence in Anesthesia Management, better known as the DREAM Campaign, is unique in that it is the only philanthropic campaign at Duke devoted to supporting anesthesia research. The overall goal of the DREAM Campaign is to improve patient care and quality of life, impacting the lives of patients both at Duke and abroad. The DREAM Campaign works not only with Duke Anesthesiology, but also with every facet of Duke Medicine in an attempt to continuously improve our research program.
A New Approach to an Old Problem This year, the DREAM Campaign has joined forces with Lifeline to Modern Medicine, a PR effort sponsored by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), in an attempt to educate the public about the role of the anesthesiologist in the overall health and long-term well-being of patients. This concept has been broadcasted though their recent Vital 2 Health Campaign, which was created in response to the discovery that most Americans associate good health with 42
Duke DREAM Campaign
lifestyle behaviors at the expense of key vital health measures, such as body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and cholesterol. This campaign seeks to inform individuals about the importance of their vital health, and position the anesthesiologist as the guardian of vital health throughout the challenging perioperative period.
DREAM Campaign Goals/Projects Endowed Professorships: Goal $2.5M With Matching Funds
Creating professorships, also known as endowed chairs, honors both past and current faculty, and raises funds to support investigator salaries, benefiting our research program, and assisting in the procurement of funding from National Institutes of Health (NIH). This provides distinguished faculty with the impetus to discover unprecedented breakthroughs, adding to the thriving academic environment at Duke, while simultaneously attracting new world-class faculty. Professorships are unique naming opportunities that are ideal for donors who would like to leave a legacy at Duke. Donors who generously endow professorships are not only ensuring academic and research excellence—they are giving a gift for future generations. We currently have two professorships available with matching fund opportunities at the $2.5M level.
Outreach & Philanthropy Learning Center—A Unique Naming Opportunity: Goal $175K
We are currently in the planning phase of a new initiative to improve our learning environment through the conversion of our current office suite into a learning center. The learning center would be equipped with our TEE simulator, and interactive learning materials for students (specifically, what is known as 3D iTeams simulation). Both of the aforementioned are currently housed separately from our main facility, making access for students and faculty difficult. This new learning space, which is estimated to cost $175K, provides donors who would like to make a significant contribution to our academic mission with a unique naming opportunity.
DREAM Innovation Grant (DIG): Goal $2M
This internal research grant was established with the goal of raising $2M to support highly innovative research with the potential for immeasurable impact on the field of anesthesia and pain management. Funding will be provided to individuals whose ideas not only have high potential for success in solving a current issue within our field, but also display a unique creative ability or insight. Duke Anesthesiology seeks to attain this funding over the course of two-and-ahalf years. At the time of the printing of this publication, there is approximately $1.56M left to raise. The DIG Grant was created with two primary goals in mind: 1) To foster ideas within the department with the potential to lead to growth in extramurally funded research from major funding agencies such as the NIH. Using this model for DIG increases the chance that applicants will pursue the R21 (or similar awards) since the application will already be near to completion at the time that these submissions are due. An important criterion in the selection of the recipients of this grant will hinge upon their ability to provide a clear definition of how this work will support future grant submissions.
2) To provide future DREAM fund-raising efforts with tangible evidence that donor dollars have been amplified. Recipients of the grant will be expected to provide frequent reports on their progress, which will in turn be reported by the DREAM Campaign to its supporters. DIG, the first grant of its kind at Duke Anesthesiology, is to become an annual competition. Funds will be awarded to different investigators each year. The opportunity for critical discovery, as well as the potential for positive national, or global attention to be achieved is maximized through the establishment of new principle investigators annually.

Health care professionals work in an extremely challenging environment—one that is not only highly stressful, but also both physically and mentally demanding. Working in such challenging conditions makes it easy to become overwhelmed and disheartened. If you keep your head up, your eyes, ears, and heart open, sometimes you stumble upon someone like Jeff Drinkard who can put things back into perspective and remind you of your original source of inspiration.

A Grim Diagnosis Jeff’s life was changed forever in January of 2006 when Jeff and his wife, Janeen, were visiting a wellness clinic. Jeff, the picture of good health at that time, was told that his life was about to take a dramatic turn for the worse. The doctor told Jeff that he exhibited signs of Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a deadly disease of the lung for which there is no cure. IPF causes scarring of the lung tissue that will cause a gradual thickening of the lungs, eventually destroying them. The average lifespan of an individual suffering from IPF is two to five years after the onset of symptoms. In August of 2006, the prediction of the doctor at the wellness clinic was verified—Jeff was diagnosed with Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis (FPF). The term familial indicates that this form of IPF runs in the family. That same year, Jeff’s brother, Mark, was diagnosed with the same disease—a disease which had already taken the lives of their mother, aunt, uncle, and presumably their grandmother as well. Three of his mother’s five sons inherited FPF. When asked to recall one of the greatest challenges of this time, Jeff described the following situation: he was out in the yard in the late afternoon, having a quiet moment to himself shortly after his diagnosis. His youngest son, Jack, was outside with him. Both father and son were silent—lost in thought. Jack was staring off into the distance and had his favorite dog, a corgi, in his lap. After a long time, Jack turned and looked his father in the eye. “Dad," he said inquiringly, "you have this disease, Mark has this disease...is this something I could get?” It was a situation that a parent would never want to face. Jeff knew 46

that he had to be strong—his son needed to hear the truth. Jeff paused a moment to regain control of the flood of emotions threatening to overwhelm him, then replied evenly, “Well, you could. I hope you don't, but you could.” Jack looked at his father for another long moment, and then slowly turned to face the vast landscape ahead of him. After a moment, he resumed petting his dog. “Okay,” he replied.
The Battle For Survival After his diagnosis, Jeff was constantly in and out of the hospital, repeatedly suffering from debilitating cases of pneumonia. Jeff is unique in that he is able to see the positive side of every situation. He remained confident in his ability to overcome this disease—even when his local doctor in Texas blatantly told him that the situation was out of his hands and that Jeff and his family should start saying their good-byes. Jeff, who is a fighter, refused to accept defeat. Instead, he found a new doctor who told him about Duke University. Duke is known internationally for its expertise in
transplant procedures—specifically lung transplants. Not only are waiting times substantially shorter, Duke's one and three-year posttransplant survival rates are significantly greater than national averages. Furthermore, Duke has no absolute upper age limit, and is known for evaluating potential transplant candidates who, like Jeff, other centers have chosen not to transplant due to their complex medical conditions. Duke performed 94 lung transplants last year—a number expected to increase dramatically in the near future with the opening of the Duke Medicine Pavilion.
Sacrificial Giving When Jeff learned that Paul Noble, MD, the Division Chief of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine at Duke was conducting a familial study on FPF that he and Mark were the perfect subjects for, he knew they had to participate. In offering themselves up as research subjects, Jeff and Mark were giving up some of their most precious asset: time. Although this sacrifice couldn’t save them, it could provide doctors at Duke
Outreach & Philanthropy with valuable information that could lead to improved treatment methods or an eventual cure. According to Jeff, giving is a “heart condition.” When you find something that is bigger than you, “something worth dying, at least in part for…you have to participate," Jeff says. "Otherwise, my question is, what’s the point? Why are you here?” In the face of death, Jeff and Mark found purpose and meaning for their lives again through sacrificial giving.
in October of that year, when, Jeff's brother, Mark, succumbed to lung cancer. As time passed, Jeff's health improved, and he began to realize the importance of making the transition from “surviving” to “survivor.” Although it may sound easy, this transformation is incredibly challenging. “It’s important to get to a place where you’re not just surviving,” Jeff states. “I know when that happened to
New Challenges & Opportunities Before long, however, Noble and his team discovered a new challenge the two brothers had to face: lung cancer—a complication commonly associated with IPF. Tests revealed that the two brothers had developed different types of cancer. Jeff was diagnosed with bronchioalveolar carcinoma, a small problem in relation to his IPF, while Mark was diagnosed with an aggressive form of adenocarcinoma that would soon become his primary concern. Although the prospects for Mark were looking grim, the team at Duke decided that Jeff was a good candidate for an experimental lung transplant. Realizing that this was his only chance, Jeff prepared himself for the worst—he said good-bye to his wife, found substitute fathers for his three boys, and mournfully considered who would walk his little girl down the aisle on her wedding day. “You realize that you don’t have the right to hold on to any of them,” Jeff says of his loved ones. “God is the one who gets to hold them. He just lets you use them and enjoy them for as long as he sees fit.”
Number of Transplants At Duke
Jeff came in immediately for testing, which was completed in a shocking three days as opposed to the three weeks typically devoted to this period. In February of 2008, Jeff underwent a double lung transplant.
From Surviving to Survivor “The good news,” Jeff states confidently, “is I’m built for battle. I do very well under very intense, difficult circumstances.” When he refers to doing “battle,” Jeff is not just speaking of the immense physical pain associated with a lung transplant, but of the emotional challenges one must face. When Jeff returned home, he was fortunate to have a strong support system of family and friends. His wife and children were especially brave throughout this period of uncertainty. Without their support, Jeff doesn't know how he could have dealt with the next devastating blow 47

me, the opportunity to have "For all of us who work through the night a future became real to me to care for these patients, it is not just again…the cancer, the fibrosis, a “lung” that we care for, but a person and the death…at some point such as Jeff, who can once again dream in time you have to let go of that stuff. You have to say, of walking his daughter down the aisle I’m moving forward.” on her wedding day. Is this not the reason Jeff is extremely grateful to Noble, Scott Palmer, MD, medical director of the Lung Transplant Program, and the team of experts at Duke willing to take a chance on his transplant. Over time, he has established a close relationship with several Duke faculty members, including chief of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology, Joseph Mathew, MD, and Elizabeth Perez, RN, BSN. “When Jeff was

hospitalized, I made a point to visit him regularly,” recalled Perez. “My intention was to encourage him during the tough times—especially since he was away from his family. However, each time I left his room, he encouraged me more. He has truly transformed my thinking and stretched my faith. His generosity and positive outlook are an inspiration to others.” “Meeting with Jeff is both humbling and inspirational,” Mathew states. “Despite all of the struggles of surviving a lung transplant, he is genuinely focused on those around him, constantly encouraging nurses, patients, and visitors. By example, he teaches about the importance of living out your faith and of the value of a 'foxhole buddy' during life crises.” As a result of these close relationships, Jeff has become very involved with Duke Medicine, and serves as an advisor for the Duke DREAM Campaign. The DREAM Campaign raises funds for crucial research that have the potential to save, or prolong the lives of patients like Jeff.

were not for the generosity of a stranger, Jeff would not be here today. “Everyone has the ability to provide a miracle,” Jeff states matter-of-factly.
A New Perspective Jeff doesn’t know how much time he has left—but then again, who does? For now, he lives each day with a greater sense of purpose in the knowledge that many of the things that he placed a lot of emphasis upon in the past, such as money, power, and the accumulation of wealth, are simply, “window dressing.” He is focused on building meaningful relationships and on being a good husband and father. Rather than fixating on past tragedies, Jeff is hopeful for the future and feels blessed by the lessons that he has learned through this process. “This is my life,” he states, “this is my adventure. You can’t have it. I wouldn’t trade seats on the bus with anybody. This is my experience. Granted, it’s a little more extreme…that’s okay. It’s real. It’s mine.”
To Sleep: Perchance to Dream. AN INTERVIEW WITH REBECCA HINSHAW, RN Meet Rebecca Hinshaw, RN, Interim Chair for the Duke DREAM Campaign. In addition to her involvement with the DREAM Campaign, Rebecca (a former nurse) and her husband, Eric, are long-time supporters of Duke Hospital. She now works as a designer with Sleep To Live Inc. (a Kingsdown Company). Are you sensing a theme yet? Don't be fooled—despite the ironically similar names of her two most prominent pastimes, Rebecca is anything but lethargic. As a key player in Duke Anesthesiology's philanthropic efforts, she's making big things happen. How did you get involved with the DREAM Campaign? My friend, Mary Pat Heath, invited me to attend a special event called Inside Duke Anesthesiology. The program was wellorganized, including several presentations from expert physicians, who spoke about their areas of specialty, research, medical advancements, and personal connections to Duke Anesthesiology. Wow! I was strongly impacted by the broad spectrum of influence this one department maintains. How are you supporting the DREAM Campaign? Hopefully, I am able to contribute some prosperous effort and ideas to help reach the much needed goals set forth by the campaign. What inspires you? Within Duke Anesthesiology, the research and the ongoing effort to improve the patients' quality of life seem endless. The average person does not have the chance to become educated on the broad spectrum of benefits made possible through the achievements of Duke Anesthesiology. I am inspired by the possibility of contributing even a small fraction to a very exciting and important purpose. What have you learned through your experience with the DREAM Campaign? As mentioned before, I have learned to appreciate the realm of responsibilities involved within the field of anesthesia. Aside from influencing a patient's comfort levels during surgery, there are many other areas outside the OR where anesthesiologists are key in managing optimal care. The purpose of the DREAM Campaign is to support research, professorships, and provide exceptional patient care. What has been your favorite experience with the DREAM Campaign? My absolute favorite experience was the first time I heard that a large sum of money had been pledged! My second favorite was hearing about an area of research that is delivering progressive, positive results. And, last but not least, the "bunny suit tour" through the OR that I was able to partake in. I was amazed when I saw a team preparing for a complicated double lung transplant and delighted to get an inside look into the new "hybrid" OR, which has revolutionized the operating room as we know it. What is one of your personal dreams? The belief that my aspirations are possibilities, and that I may in some way help bring a better quality of life to those in need. Please describe Duke Anesthesiology in three words. Sleep, comfort, life.
