December 1998-September 1999, Cardiology Resident in the

General Hospital of Nikea. As I was the only resident in the cardiology

department I was in charge for all admitted patients in the

department. I also got accustomed to various aspects of interventional

cardiology, and I started some small clinical investigations. At the

same time, I taught “Cardiology-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation” in

the surgical speciality for nurses in our hospital.

September 1999-September 2000, Senior SHO, Kingston General

Hospital, London UK. During my time as a resident I was on call in

the general hospital and I was leading the cardiac arrest team. In

addition I did outpatient cardiology clinics, initially general cardiology

and later on, Coronary artery disease outpatient clinic, arrhythmia

clinic and pacing clinic. I was also in charge for the stress tests and

the echocardiography of the department. I collaborated with all other

subspecialties of Internal medicine but I got specialized mainly in

managing the cardiology patient.

September 2000-September 2001, Specialist Registrar, University

Hospital Queen Mary. As a registrar my duties were the same as those

previously described. I was the cardiac arrest team leader and I was

doing a 1 to 5 on call Rota.

DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH FOCUS

My research focus can be divided into 2 main domains:

Since 1998 when I started my specialization in cardiology, my

research interest and therefore my studies were mainly clinically

oriented. During this period I got involved with research protocols

associated with acute cardiology (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, acute

myocardial infarction). At the same time I participated in the study

ASSENT II (Α phase III, randomized, double-blind, parallel group,

international trial of single bolus of TNK-tissue plasminogen activator,

TNK-tPA, versus accelerated infusion of rt-PA in acute myocardial

infarction: Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of a new

Thrombolytic Agent), 1998. My interest at the time, other than TNK-

tissue plasminogen was to record pharmacological therapies of atrial

9

fibrillation (including different formulations of amiodarone and

comparison of intravenous amiodarone and procainamide. In addition,

I studied and published the pathophysiology and physiology of the

myocardial tissue and specific biochemical markers, which can

predict neurological outcome. These activities hace led to publications

in International Journal of Cardiology, Minerva Cardioangiologica,

Resuscitation

Since 2002, my research focus shifted to more basic research. This is

reflected in my 13 year dedication in an experimental laboratory.

Since 2004, when I was placed at the Department of Experimental

Surgery and Surgical Research of the University of Athens, Medical

School, my research interest has been in experimental protocols of

“Cardiac Arrest-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation-Physiology and

Pharmacology”.

• I organized the laboratory in order to sustain my research in

cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and I developed novel experimental

model of cardiac arrest induction. Moreover, I developed a model of

asphyxia and a model of severe hemorrhagic shock. These models

were published in Laboratory Animals and Comparative medicine.

In these models which were replicated world-wide were used to test

the efficacy, safety and pharmacodymanics of several

pharmacological agents.

My experimental activities are characterized mainly by:

Α. The development of animal models, where all my pharmacological

studies are conducted, namely:

1. The study of novel pharmaceutical agents in the management of

cardiac arrest, such as the beta-blockers and levosimendan for the

first time internationally, studies published in Am J Emerg Med,

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand, Circulation, multiple publications in

Resuscitation and pharmacological journals.

2. The supervision of clinical studies associated with clinical

pharmacology. These publications explored in depth the physiology

10

and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system leading in

publications in Heart & Lung.

3. The application of multifactorial physiological cerebral

monitoring such as rSO2, TCD, and its association with molecular

indices such as S-100, NSE, IL-6, IL-9 in the blood, and tissues as

published in Resuscitation.

4. The comparison of the 2005 and 2000 guidelines on resuscitation a

study that was also published in Resuscitation.

5. The development of an experimental model of hemorrhagic shock

in which the effects of starches were studies in the management of

acute lung injury. This paper received the 1st Fresenius Cabi Award

and led to the a full paper publication in Anesthesiology.

The result of these research activities was:

a) The presentation of the results of our experiments in national and

international fora and

b) My invitation in the Scientific Meeting, March 2006 of the Αmerican

Heart Association (AHA) where I presented the possible beneficial

effects of beta-blockers in the management of cardiac arrest, an

application that was developed in our research facility.

This research activity is characterized by international originality as

we managed to restore spontaneous circulation after 8 and 10 min of

untreated cardiac arrest, with the addition of inotropes that do not

increase oxygen consumption by the myocardium. In addition we

started identifying the molecular basis of cardiopulmonary

resuscitation for the first time internationally. These activities have led

to the deeper understanding of the pathophysiology and pathogenesis

of post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction and post-arrest injury

which for the first time combined all available data and provided a

theory that fully explains the physiological mechanisms of the

situation. These papers were published in Heart Failure Reviews and

Journal of Neurological Sciences. These activities attracted the media

11

in Greece and Internationally. For these activities, I received multiple

invitations for editorials in Journals such as Resuscitation, Acta

Physiologica and accepted many invitations to lecture in International

Fora. It was because of this increased recognition that collaborations

flourished with Universities from Europe and the United States of

America.

One of my research goals was to study all the pathophysiological

mechanisms of cardiac arrest and to improve the rates of return of

spontaneous circulation and survival in experimental models of

cardiac arrest with pharmacological agents. In addition, my focus was

restoration of normal cerebral function post cardiac arrest so as to

prevent permanent neurological damage. The result was 2 major

fundings from European funds, where I acted as the principal

investigator.

Pythagoras Ι: «Combination pharmacotherapy before defibrillation in a

swine model of prolonged cardiac arrest»

Pythagoras ΙΙ: «Co-administration of adrenaline, vasopressin and

nitroglycerin in a swine model of ventricular fibrillation»

In addition, I participated in more than 20 PhD theses with the same

research focus

• I am working closely with the departments of Microbiology of the

Aretaieon Hospital and the Department of Pathology of the

University of Athens and the department of informatics of the

University of Piraeus nationally and many other departments and

universities internationally.

Β. I created a new experimental model of cardiac arrest induction

following asphyxia, for the first time in Greece and I refined the

existing international protocol. Using this animal model we have

12

studied the pathophysiology of asphyxia and possible therapeutic

management, including multiple pharmacological agents.

• Our research group was one of the few internationally that

managed to increase survival in cardiac arrest. This is the reason

why I have been invited to many international for a, including ERC

and AHA congresses.

C. At the same time, I studied various aspects of medical education

with publications in international peer-reviewed journals. This led

to my recognition as a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Educators,

Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and the European

Resuscitation Educator for all Generic Instructor Courses. As I see

myself, as I lifelong learner more than an expert, I continue to

improve my qualification through formal education continuously. I

also studied in depth Toxicology receiving my Post-graduate

Diploma in Medical Toxicology from the University of Cardiff. As a

result of these studies, I have deeply comprehended the

pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenomics of all therapeutic

agents for all the systems of the human body

• I was the first to use videolaryngoscopes in didactic studies in the

airway management in simulated cardiac arrest scenarios in adults

and in neonates. This activity led to a deeper understanding of the

anatomy and physiology of the upper-airway anatomy and

physiology and proved that the standard Macintosh blade may not

be as efficient as alternatives in the management of the airway.

• Ι have examined the catastrophic results of excessive ventilation,

especially when chest compressions are interrupted in cardiac

arrest. That is the reason why we have developed a novel approach

of securing the airway without chest compressions interruption.

13

These studies have been published in international peer-reviewed

journals.

D. At the same time at the Research Laboratory of the Pharmaceutical

industry of ELPEN I developed a model of neonatal normocapnic

hypoxia in newborn swine for the first time internationally. During

these experiments we tested whether resuscitation of newborn

piglets could be achieved with various oxygen concentrations.

These studies have already been accepted in National and

International Congresses (17th European Workshop on

Neonatology, 15ο Panhellenic Perinatal Congress). Due to this

research activity we developed our collaboration with the university

of Cagliari Italy, where we have studied metabolomics in neonatal

resuscitation. In addition, due to my International recognition as a

pharmacology expert in all stages of the human development, I

worked closely with the University of Cagliari, the University of

Oslo, the Midewestern University of Chicago etc.

Simultaneously, I developed my interest for medical education

which went beyond simply publishing retention of skills, but was

formally developed by the post graduate Certificate and the Post

Graduate Diploma in Medical Education, where I had the chance to

see beyond the eyes of the Andragogy and understand and practice

and investigate various learning theories. I designed new curricula

and I published these findings in journals like Heart & Lung,

Resuscitation, etc. The continuous activity in the research lab has

led to many original publications, traditional reviews meta-

analyses and editorials in several International Journals.

At the same time, I went back to oversee and design and clinical

pharmacological studies. We have applied for a grant regarding

vasopressin and steroids in the critical care unit. This study will

have a clinical and a laboratory arm, where we will study the

14

effects of steroids in hypothalamic pituary axis clinically and

laboratory studies. The principal investigator of the clinical arm

will be Professor Zakynthinos and the principal investigator for the

laboratory arm will be me.

All these activities have led to several visiting professorships

several invited talks in International Congresses and several

collaborations with other universities of Europe and the USA and

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I started teaching when I was an Internal Medicine Resident in the

Internal Medicine Department of the Psychiatric Hospital of Athens.

During this period, I taught all basic medical subjects in the Middle

grade Professional Nursing School of the psychiatric hospital of

Athens. I was the instructor responsible for the teaching and

preparation for the professional examination.

As a resident in Cardiology in the General Hospital of Nikea, I taught

Cardiology- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the surgical

specialty of the nurses. The same period I became an instructor for

the Hellenic Society of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, after

completing both Provider and Instructor Courses.

Later on, I started teaching for the European Resuscitation Council

courses, initially as an instructor candidate and later on as an

instructor. By participating in these courses I became initially Co-

Director, later on Director and I finally became Organizer, which is

the highest rank for teaching and organizing courses for the European

Resuscitation Council. The courses I organize are both at provider and

at instructor level. I have trained more than 2000 people in these

courses, both healthcare professionals and lay-people.

Because of my experience in teaching and my multiple publications in

the area of Cardiac Arrest-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, I was

invited by the Central Council of Health of the Ministry of Health to

participate in the National Committee of Cardiopulmonary

Resuscitation. This committee advises for the adequacy and

credibility of the resuscitation courses in Greece, and on the training

of the healthcare personnel of the Greek Hospitals. During my

presence in this Committee, we managed to legislate:

99

1. The compulsory training of all health care professionals in Basic

Life Support and Automated External Defibrillator and in

Immediate Life Support Course.

2. The application of the «Public Access Defibrillation Program»

which legally covers the rescuer to administer defibrillation in

public places, while for the first time in Greece we developed a

plan for automated external defibrillators in public places.

My participation in medical education covers a broad spectrum of

lectures and activities, initially at undergraduate level and later on in

post-graduate level. I have taught the subjects «Experimental

Surgery» «Cardiopulmonary resuscitation» «Descriptive Anatomy»

and «Human Anatomy» in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th year of the

medical curriculum. I was then motivated to organize an MSc program

entitled «Cardiopulmonary resuscitation» which is administered by the

Medical School of the University of Athens. In this program, medical

and nursing school graduates are normally accepted following a

formal interview. This MSc program aims at enhancing research on

cardiopulmonary resuscitation and to guide its students into a deeper

understanding of the way guidelines on resuscitation are created by

the various International Organizations. This MSc program admits

students for more than 7 years and is the MSc program that has the

largest number of applications.

Besides being the Scientific Moderator of the MSc, I lecture and I am

the Course Director of all the courses that are being held in the MSc.

These courses are always organized according to the principles set by

the International Organizations; our students apply in real time

simulation all the peri-arrest algorithms and the cardiac arrest

algorithm. Finally, I am the Scientific Director for the Experimental

Part of the MSc. During this course, our students are being trained in

small groups in the principles of basic research of Cardiopulmonary

100

resuscitation, and they practice in all 3 experimental models we have

elaborated and refined:

Ventricular fibrillation induction

Experimental Model of asphyxial cardiac arrest

Experimental Model of Hemorrhagic Shock

It was because of this work that the American College of Emergency

Physicians gave me permission to organize all of it courses in Greece.

Up to now, we have organized Advanced Cardiac Life Support

(ACLS), both at provider and instructor level, and we have managed to

create a critical core of instructors able to teach resuscitation. This

core of instructors consists both of doctors and nurses.

I was invited to give talks because of my research interest of

Pharmacology of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and I was also invited

to give a lecture entitled “Beta-blockade in swine cardiac arrest” for

the American Heart Association, where distinguished scientists from

all over the world suggested therapeutic strategies to improve the

outcome of cardiac arrest victims. For all my teaching activities I keep

teaching and reflective portfolios.
