Dr. Ansgar Brambrink

Anesthesiologist-in-chief at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center
Dr. Brambrink, an internationally renowned expert in brain injury, specializes in clinical care, research, and educational aspects of anesthesia and its applications to the treatment of patients with neurological conditions, including stroke. He had been professor and the vice chair of faculty development and advancement in the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University.
Dr. Brambrink received his doctorate and medical degrees from Westfälische Wilhelms-University School of Medicine in Germany and completed a residency in anesthesiology and an anesthesiology and neurosurgery fellowship in the intensive care units at University Hospital at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. He also completed a clinical and research fellowship in anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins University. He served on the faculty of Johannes Gutenberg University from 1996 until 2003 before joining OHSU. Within four years, Dr. Brambrink had joint appointments in three OHSU departments: anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, neurology, and neurologic surgery. At OHSU, he was instrumental in building a multidisciplinary neuroscience intensive care unit, which he directed for five years.

Michael Wang
TOPIC: Awake paralysis – the heart of AAGA PTSD
BIOGRAPHY AND AREAS OF RESEARCH:
Michael Wang is Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology in the
College of Medicine, Biological Science and Psychology,
University of Leicester UK, and Honorary Consultant Clinical
Psychologist in Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Management
at Leicester Royal Infirmary UK. He is a former Chair of the
Division of Clinical Psychology of the British Psychological
Society. He has worked as a clinical psychologist for more than
35 years, treating patients with PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, obsessional compulsive disorder, and in particular, psychological problems arising from unplanned anaesthetic and surgical incidents. He has worked closely with anaesthetists in both clinical and research contexts for more than 20 years. Alongside Dr Ian Russell he has championed the Isolated Forearm Technique as the gold standard for
detecting intra-operative consciousness.
