Where I help
Specialized knowledge.
Practical application.
Review the clinical sequence, understand the equipment and workflow, and identify what the documentation establishes. Each engagement is scoped to the specific question and my qualifications.
01
Clinical Record & Chronology Review
Read perfusion records alongside operative and anesthesia documentation. Reconcile timing, identify gaps, and distinguish documented facts from interpretations that need additional support.
02
ECMO, CPB & MCS Analysis
Physiology-driven review of extracorporeal support, perfusion practice, circuit events, anticoagulation, monitoring, transport, and escalation decisions.
03
Standards, Policies & Competency
Analysis of clinical policies, training, supervision, documentation, quality systems, device instructions for use, and operational controls.
04
Medical-Device & Product Matters
Clinical context for disposables, equipment use, warnings, workflow, human factors, and the gap between the device record and the bedside reality.
Myocardial protection & cardiac surgery
Clinical context for bypass workflows, cardioplegia delivery, circuit management, monitoring, and communication with the surgical team.
Program leadership & education
Protocol development, quality improvement, orientation, competency materials, and practical training informed by department leadership.
Clinical consulting & implementation
Workflow review, equipment-use context, and educational resources for clinical programs and device teams. Scope and potential conflicts are assessed for each engagement.
What counsel receives
A clear account of what happened.
Useful analysis separates established facts, documentation gaps, and competing explanations. Deliverables are agreed before review begins.
Chronology that holds together
A concise, physiology-aware sequence of events that identifies inflection points, documentation gaps, and competing explanations.
Questions worth asking
Focused discovery, deposition, and records requests grounded in how the care was actually delivered—not generic checklists.
Independent communication
Clear written analysis and, where the matter fits my qualifications, expert testimony. Opinions are not contingent on the retaining side or desired outcome.
A straightforward process
Make the first conversation count.
Conflict & fit check
Share the high-level facts, venue, parties, and question to determine availability and whether the matter fits the clinical scope.
Focused record review
Start with the records that establish the clinical sequence. Expand only where the facts support a deeper analysis.
Actionable next steps
Receive a clear assessment of the clinical issues, record gaps, and appropriate next stage of consulting or expert work.
