   "Real-Time Three-Dimensional TEE - Intraoperative Perspectives"

   G. Burkhard Mackensen, MD, PhD, FASE
   Associate Professor of Anesthesiology
  
Division of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology
   Department of Anesthesiology
   Duke University Medical Center
   
   Dr. Mackensen's professional training includes a residency in  
   Anesthesiology in Munich (Germany) and a two-year Fellowship in
   Cardiothoracic Anesthesia at Duke University from 1998-2000.
   In 2000, Dr. Mackensen successfully completed the National Board of 
   Echocardiography PTEXAM and upon returning to Germany has
   also completed the equivalent German perioperative TEE certification. Back in
   Munich, he completed a Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine and joined the clinical 
   faculty in Munich. In Munich, he established and directed the Perioperative
   Echocardiography Services at the University Hospital.

 

   In 2004, Dr. Mackensen returned to Duke and joined the faculty in the Department of
   Anesthesiology as Associate Professor. Since joining the faculty at Duke, he has
   been actively involved in the both the clinical and research aspects of TEE and
   serves as one of four current reviewers of routine perioperative TEE at Duke.

 

   Over the years, Dr. Mackensen has successfully published his academic work 
   including echocardiography related work in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Mackensen
   is a Fellow of the American Society of Echocardiography (FASE) and a member of
   both the American Society of Echocardiography's Intraoperative Council and
   International Task Force.


   In his faculty position as an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at Duke 
   University
, Dr. Mackensen has been active in teaching echocardiography and
   anesthesia to Duke residents and fellows. Over the last year, Dr. Mackensen has
   been leading the way in exploring the utility of Real-Time Three-Dimensional TEE
   in the perioperative environment. Dr. Mackensen has lectured both nationally and
   internationally on the role of perioperative two- and three-dimensional TEE in 
   cardiac anesthesia and surgical decision making.

   At the conclusion of this activity, the learner should be able to:

  • Introduce the intraoperative use of Real-Time Three Dimensional TEE.
  • Discuss the intraoperative use of Real Time Three Dimensional TEE
  • Review the utility of Real-Time Three Dimensional TEE based on specific case scenarios.
