Research
In 1995, I was one of the first Australian anaesthetists to learn and perform transoesophageal
echocardiography for cardiac anaesthesia. I followed this clinical pioneering practice with
research designed to validate its use and to investigate new areas for which it could be useful.
The applications of echocardiography and surface ultrasound use have increased since then
and I have pioneered the use of these technologies in non-cardiac anaesthesia, nerve blocks
and vascular access. Research projects have mirrored these innovations.
I have also been involved in research for surgical innovations and these often overlap with
innovations in anaesthesia. My interests in ventricular function led me to want to validate
new echocardiography measurement techniques against the gold-standard invasive
techniques that are mostly only performed in animal preparations. This was the impetus to
set up an animal laboratory at The University of Melbourne and to invest in pressure-volume
loop equipment (my lab is one of the few in the country with this technology). What followed
was a growing interest in anaesthetic pharmacology and the area of organ protection. This
has led back to human clinical research where I carried out a randomized trial of anaesthetic
agents, looking at brain protection. I am now involved in a number of multicentre clinical
trials of outcome in cardiac surgery.
What started as pure clinical research has therefore moved to the laboratory and now again to
human research, and is a good example of “bench-bedside” translational research. In this
journey, I have supervised many students (see below) and engaged anaesthetists in research
higher degree training. I now supervise or co-supervise more anaesthetists doing higher
degree research than any other anaesthetist in Australia.
Productivity in relation to opportunity
My career citations are > 2000, and I have published >130 peer- reviewed papers and book
chapters, with more than 25% in the leading journals of the discipline. One hundred and
thirteen are in indexed journals, and I currently publish 8-10 papers per year with half as
first or senior author. Most of my research time in the past was “honorary”, and completed
while I was working full time in clinical practice. It is only since late 2006 that I have been full
time teaching and research. In 2005 I had six months absence whilst receiving treatment for a
serious illness, and it took a further six months to return to full research capacity. I also spent
most of my time in 2003 and 2004 developing the Postgraduate Diploma of Perioperative and
Critical Care Echocardiography. This was such an enormous task, that I had to reduce my
research commitment. I believe that my productivity has been outstanding, and more
remarkable given the limited opportunity.

Interests
a. Cardiovascular and neurological effects of anaesthesia in animals. There is a range of
research preparations in the Cardiovascular Therapeutics Unit, including organ bath and
myograph in-vitro preparations, anaesthetized animal preparations, and pressure-volume
loop preparations in rats, rabbits and pigs. This last technology, which is only available in a
few labs in Australia and world wide, allows direct measurement of contractility. These
preparations are supplemented by histology and molecular techniques provided by
collaborators. These techniques have been used to investigate the cardiovascular effects of
anaesthetics, novel inotropes, cardioprotection and safety pharmacology especially with local
anaesthetics. A new area of research is studying the neurotoxicity of anaesthetics in rats using
cognitive function testing. This important development will complement human clinical
research in this area. I received an ANZCA academic enhancement grant for 2012 to further
develop this research and to build capacity in basic science research for Anaesthesia. I have
closed my lab in Pharmacology due to a move to Department of Surgery, but I am still engaged
with collaborators.
b. Echocardiography
Validation of echocardiography measurements is being carried out in animals and humans. ,
Animal and human volunteer studies are investigating the accuracy of Tissue Doppler Velocity
measurements of systolic and diastolic function. These approaches hold great promise as the
measurements are simple to perform and non-invasive The new horizon in echocardiography
is 3-dimensional real time echocardiography, and several studies validating its use have
commenced. At the lower end of technology, the use of limited transthoracic
echocardiography as a real time clinical diagnostic and monitoring tool is being investigated
in the preoperative assessment clinic, and in the emergency department. These studies focus
on how the echocardiography scan influences clinical management decisions. I am currently
investigating the validity of echocardiography assessment of left and right atrial pressure in
awake and anaesthetized patients using transthoracic and transoesophageal
echocardiography. I am also conducting research into echocardiography education, especially
with simulation technologies.
c. Human organ protection during cardiac surgery
I was the principal investigator in a trial comparing the effects of two anaesthetic agents on
the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) after cardiac surgery. This
human study mirrored the animal investigations on the balance between potential
neurotoxicity caused by anaesthetics versus the potential neuroprotective effects during a
period of potential organ injury, such as occurs during cardiac surgery. I am an investigator in
a multicentre trial investigating the effect of high-dose steroids in cardiac surgery, and in
blood transfusion strategies.
d. Recovery after anaesthesia and surgery: Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale
(PQRS)
I am the only Australian anaesthetist , and now Chair of an international board that developed
and and validated a new scale, the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PQRS) to
measure how well patients recover after anaesthesia. The first study, was published in
Anesthesiology (2010), the most prestigious anaesthetic journal. This scale has been used as
a research tool to compare different anaesthetic interventions, but is also being developed as
a clinical quality tool. Being able to measure recovery will give anaesthetists important
feedback on their practice, as well as being able to identify patients early after surgery who
have not recovered well.. This work has great potential to engage The University of

5. CV Colin Royse
5
Melbourne hospitals in collaborative research. PQRS is a simple tool to use and can be
performed with minimal training. Quality of recovery is a new horizon in anaesthesia
research and will interest the wider community. This is particularly important when engaging
some of the hospitals where research is poorly developed.
e. Cardiac surgery I am a co-investigator in cardiac surgery research. This includes long-term
follow-up of patients who have had total arterial coronary bypass surgery, as well as
measuring the effect of surgery on diastolic function.

Distance based Echocardiography courses:
The echocardiography education group, which I lead, is the main provider of
echocardiography education to anaesthesia and critical care specialistsin Australia, and has
gained a strong national and international reputation. The education program has facilitated
the uptake of this technology into clinical practice, with a significant impact on patient
management.
Since 2004 the now discontinued PGDipEcho had nearly 460 graduates, with a few remaining
to complete. By the end of Semester 2 2011, approximately 450 students had graduated from
the new Certificate of Clinical Ultrasound, with 120 attaining the Diploma. By the end of 2013,
approximately 2000 students had completed workshops, about 1100 of which had completed
the limited transthoracic echocardiography course (HARTscan). Additionally about 500
delegates to conferences we have organised will have attended workshops. About 15-20% of
distance education students are international enrolments. For reference, in Australasia, there
are about 100 cardiothoracic surgeons, 250 cardiac anaesthetists, 750 cardiologists, 300
intensive care and 400 accident and emergency physicians. Overall we estimate that about
10% of all anaesthetists, more than 60% of all cardiac anaesthetists and 20% of intensive care
physicians have completed or are undertaking our courses.
a. Postgraduate Diploma of Perioperative and Critical Care
Echocardiography (PGDipEcho). This course was developed following early
use of transoesophageal echocardiography forcardiac surgery. I was one of the
pioneers of this technique in Australia. The key aim was to set up a
comprehensive education package to provide a diagnostic level knowledge base
for practitioners, utilising distance education technologies to make learning
easier. I led a steering committee and approximately 70 contributors from
Australia and overseas. This course has become the leading means for
anaesthesia and critical care specialists to learn echocardiography. The
PGDipEcho has now been replaced with a series of nested courses, designed to
cater better for the emerging non-cardiac anaesthesia craft groups. These
include Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma, and Masters levels of education.
b. Postgraduate Certificate of Clinical Ultrasound. All students start with this
course, as it teaches basic assessment skills using echocardiography and surface

7. CV Colin Royse

ultrasound. The knowledge base will enable practitioners to become “good
basic sonographers” but without comprehensive diagnostic skills. This course is
designed principally for those beginning echocardiography, or for the non-
cardiac anaesthesia, emergency department, and intensive care specialties.
Ultimately other modular certificates with focus on musculoskeletal or vascular
sonography will be developed.
c. Postgraduate Diploma of Clinical Ultrasound. Students complete another
four subjects after the certificate course to obtain the diploma. The knowledge
base is extended to now provide diagnostic level skills and to focus on
transoesophageal echocardiography Our expectation is that approximately 50%
of the certificate students will continue and complete the diploma.
d. Masters of Clinical Ultrasound. This is now complete and released in 2014,
approximately 50 students are currently enrolled.
e. Hands-on Workshops. My echocardiography education group is also involved
in running a number of hands-on workshops and seminars. This started as a
means to provide hands-on experience for students who found it difficult to
obtain at their local institution. However these programs have become self-
standing, and have become important mechanisms for people wishing to start
doing echocardiography and ultrasound guided nerve blocks.
f. New developments. Our group has developed the Basic Perioperative TEE
program for the National Board of echocardiography in the USA. We have
currently enrolled 300 students. Another major development is to set up
education courses incorporating echocardiography simulators. The first two
courses in this series have been developed and tested in 2014. A new course
called “Basic TTE” is under development.
Collaborations
a. Sonosite Corporation: Sonosite has facilitated our teaching programs in point-of-
care ultrasound, and provided research equipment for our laboratory.
b. Co-Director of the steering committee of the Postgraduate Diploma of
Perioperative and Critical Care Echocardiography. The committee comprises 14
anaesthetists, intensive care physicians, or surgeons from across Australia and New
Zealand, who served to guide the progress of the diploma course.
c. Member of the international advisory board on the- postoperative quality of
recovery scale (PQRS). This scale will act as a research endpoint to measure
quality of recovery following anaesthesia and surgery. I am now the Chair of the
PQRS scientific committee.
d. Member of the advisory panel for the Australian and New Zealand College of
Anaesthetists, and the Joint Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, which formulate
training guidelines for echocardiography and ultrasound use in anaesthesia and
critical care medicine.
e. Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiology (SCA) collaboration: I have
successfully formed a partnership with the SCA, which is the most respected
organization in the USA concerning perioperative echocardiography. We are now
running our distance courses under license from The University of Melbourne for
the North American market. This has given us huge credibility outside of Australia
in the field of echocardiography education.

Clinical development in anaesthesia
My subspeciality interest is cardiac anaesthesia. I have been a pioneer in a number of
developments in this field. In 1995, I received formal training in transoesophageal
echocardiography and introduced it into the operating theatres at The Royal Melbourne
Hospital. The technology is now embraced in cardiac surgery and its application has extended
to other areas of anaesthesia.
In the mid-1990s, I pioneered the use of fast track anaesthesia for cardiac surgery at the Royal
Melbourne Hospital, including immediate extubation of patients in the operating theatre.
Whilst my practice has become more conservative, aiming for early rather than immediate
extubation, the process required many simultaneous changes in technique, including
anaesthetic agents, temperature management and pain control. This work is recognised
internationally, and I was invited to speak on it in 2008 at the International Congress of
Cardiovascular Anaesthesia.
I pioneered the use of epidural anaesthesia in cardiac surgery in Australia. This is an
emerging trend in many other countries. My aim is to improve pain management for patients
undergoing cardiac surgery. We have been performing the technique for over 15 years with
good results, and without complication in over 2000 cases. I have published the world’s third
largest clinical case series, and I am regarded as a world authority in the technique. I was
invited to write the “Current Opinion” review of the topic in 2008. I wrote an editorial for
Anesthesiology in 2011, and have lectured as a guest speaker on multiple occasions at
international meetings.
The focus of my clinical research now is the measurement of quality of recovery following
anaesthesia and surgery. I am a member of an international panel which has developed and
validated a new quality of recovery scale (PQRS – Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale). This
will provide a measurement tool to identify quality of recovery beyond the normal clinical
observation period (which for anaesthetists, is typically only a few hours). Studies
investigating quality of recovery in cardiac surgery are currently undergoing ethics
committee review.
Administrative/Management
I have set up and co-ordinate the “Postgraduate Diploma of Perioperative and Critical Care
Echocardiography”.The course represents a collaboration of experts in echocardiography
from Australia and New Zealand, and is administered through The University of Melbourne. I
co-administer administer 7 full time and 6 part time research or admin staff.
I set up the Anaesthesia and Pain Management Research Unit in 2006 within the Department
of Pharmacology. This was designed to be an umbrella organization for anaesthetists to seek
appointments with the university. The idea is to group anaesthetists into one unit, rather than
the current state where they are dispersed by being attached to surgical or medical
departments of their hospitals. It is critical for the development of anaesthesia as a discipline
to group individuals of common interest, so that research, education, and publication output
can be identified as belonging to the discipline of anaesthesia.
I am the only continuing University employed academic in anaesthesia, critical care and
emergency medicine. This indicates just how under resourced these specialties are.
Numerically, the critical care and anaesthesia craft groups are in the top five specialties yet
have almost no university representation. All other anaesthesia academics hold honorary

9. CV Colin Royse
9
appointments. I have provided the co-ordination and mentoring for anaesthetists and other
critical care specialists to help them to realize their academic goals. In 2010, I provided
funding from the echocardiography programs for a 0.5 FTE position for an anaesthesia
lecturer. I intend to increase this as funds allow.
I served with the Australian Defence Force Reserves for 15 years, moving to inactive service
in 1998. I held a range of appointments culminating in “Officer Commanding, Medical
Company, 3BASB”. I participated in leadership courses and reached the rank of Substantive
Major. The management responsibility of a company-sized unit is 100 personnel, and the
organizational structure is similar to that of a department within a hospital.
