Dr. Peng currently serves as the Director of Intraoperative
Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) in the Department of
Anesthesiology at the University of Florida. In this capacity,
he not only supervises all the daily echocardiography work which
is conducted in the operating room, but he also mentors the
residents, fellows and faculty members in the department to
correctly perform and interpret the TEE. Other than spending
most of his professional time educating medical students and
residents on how to anesthetize patients in the operating room,
his medical research is primarily focused on hemodynamic
monitoring of the high risk cardiac surgical patient.
Specifically, he is currently investigating the biventricular
pacing effect on the cardiac surgical patient with compromised
ventricular function. With I Heermann Anesthesia Foundation (IHAF)
grant support, he is able to study the ionized magnesium effect
on potassium homeostasis in diabetic patients. He collaborates
with his surgical colleagues to look at the Brain Natriuretic
Peptide (BNP) effect on renal function of the thoracic aortic
aneurysm repair patient. Dr. Peng is also interested in finding
the solution to improve the perioperative monitoring and
management of complex cardiac surgical procedures (such as lung
and heart transplantations, placement of ventricular assist
devices and major thoracic aortic surgeries). His other
research interests involve improving the clinical care of
cardiac surgical patients. He has participated in multiple
clinical trials including
Evaluation of Clevelox in the perioperative treatment of
hypertension, PRIMO-CABG II and the Aprotinin
administration, which reduces the immuno-inflammatory response
and improves overall morbidity following CABG, etc.
