Gerald A. Bushman

Gerald A. Bushman, MD, serves as a Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology (Clinician Educator) on a part-time basis at the University of Southern California, with clinical practice centered at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). His professional focus integrates pediatric anesthesiology expertise with specialized cardiac care, addressing complex perioperative challenges in congenital heart disease and airway management.

Research interests emphasize:

• Pediatric cardiac anesthesiology and congenital heart disease management
• Transcutaneous monitoring techniques for respiratory parameters
• Intraoperative complications in pediatric cardiac surgery
• Neonatal anesthesia for cardiac procedures
• Diagnostic approaches for arrhythmias in structural heart disease
• Anesthetic considerations for rare cardiac pathologies

Publication analysis (1988-2021) reveals consistent contributions to pediatric cardiac anesthesia, with recent work focusing on non-invasive monitoring during tonsillectomy for sleep-disordered breathing and management of complex syndromic conditions. His scholarly output primarily comprises clinically significant case reports and observational studies addressing specific perioperative challenges in high-risk pediatric populations, demonstrating particular expertise in airway management and hemodynamic instability during cardiac procedures.

No scientific awards were documented in the provided profile.

Information regarding academic advising, grant funding, or laboratory affiliations was not included in the available materials, though his clinician-educator role suggests active teaching responsibilities within the anesthesiology department.
