From the classroom to the emergency room, O.R. and beyond. You're joining Trauma ICU Rounds with your host, Dr. Dennis Kim.

Welcome back to trauma ICU rounds. I am very excited to introduce our guest professor this week, one Dr. Megan Brenner. Dr. Brenner is a clinical professor

of surgery at the University of California Riverside School of Medicine. She completed medical

school at VCU, followed by general surgery residency at UCLA, Go Bruins. Following this, she

completed her trauma surgical critical care fellowship at the R.A. Cowley

Shock Trauma Center and is one of a handful of American trauma surgeons who have completed

fellowship training in both trauma surgery as well as vascular surgery. She stayed on as an assistant

professor of surgery at shock trauma where her research interests in vascular trauma. She stayed on as an assistant professor of surgery at shock trauma, where her research

interests in vascular trauma and the use of endovascular technology, specifically

Reboa or resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta, really began to

flourish.

I think there's no doubt in anybody's mind that Dr. Brenner truly has

been one of the leaders in the development, refinement, and application of Reboa as a therapeutic

adjunct in the management of injured patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage who are

unresponsive to initial life-saving resuscitative efforts.

Megan is a graduate of the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, Future Trauma Leaders Program,

and she currently serves as the Director of Surgical Research at Riverside University Health System Medical Center.

Dr. Brenner has published numerous publications and has many, many presentations to her name.

Further, she is an avid and dedicated educator and was instrumental in the development of the American

College of Surgeons Best Program.

That's the basic endobascular skills for trauma program.

And if you have yet to take that course, I would highly recommend it.
