McKenzie Hollon, MD, FASE, completed anesthesiology residency and adult cardiothoracic anesthesia fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. She joined the Emory faculty as an assistant professor and also earned board certification from both the American Board of Anesthesiology and of the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) in Advanced Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography. Dr. Hollon’s clinical practice is based at Grady Memorial Hospital, a level 1 trauma center and safety-net hospital in downtown Atlanta. Working in a high-volume and high-acuity clinical setting at the time of rapidly advancing bedside ultrasound technology, she quickly recognized the potential value in expanding her echocardiographic and ultrasound skills and completed additional echocardiography training through a visiting fellowship at the University of Utah Department of Anesthesiology. She then became a testamur of the NBE’s Exam of Special Competence in Adult Echocardiography as well as a testamur of the NBE’s Critical Care Echocardiography Exam. Dr. Hollon established a perioperative echocardiography service at Grady Memorial Hospital, providing TTE, TEE, and focused cardiac ultrasound to perioperative patients and contributing to the education of all levels of learners.

Oliver Panzer, MD, joined the faculty in the Divisions of Regional Anesthesia and Critical Careafter his critical care fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), Early on, he was drawn to the huge potential of ultrasound in the perioperative setting. He started to use it in regional anesthesia, fascinated by the precision blocks that could be performed with it. Simultaneously, the diagnostic abilities of the increasingly miniaturized ultrasound technology changed his ability to manage the critically ill perioperatively and in the critical care setting. He has lead the POCUS initiative in his department since 2007 and developed perioperative ultrasound workshops and lectures for multiple classes of residents, critical care fellows, faculty, and advanced care practitioners at CUMC, nationally and internationally. Since 2010, he has been the Director of Perioperative Ultrasonography in the Department of Anesthesiology at CUMC and leads the Departmental of Critical Care and Perioperative Ultrasound Curriculum. He has trained many fellows and faculty in other departments at CUMC. Dr. Panzer is particularly interested in using POCUS in cardiac arrest situations and the evaluation of the right heart in LVAD patients, as well as the assessment of volume responsiveness. His goal is to promote the safe and accurate use of POCUS in the field of anesthesiology and critical care to improve patient care and outcomes.
