Chi Ho Ban Tsui
Native Name:徐志豪
Birth Place:Hong Kong
Fields:Anesthesiology
Alma Mater:Dalhousie University

Chi Ho Ban Tsui is a Canadian anesthesiologist known for medical innovation in the field of anesthesia. Examples include describing the Tsui Test and developing the StimuLong Sono-Tsui for ease of pediatric epidural placement. Recently along with his son, Dr. Jonathan Jenkin Tsui, Dr. Tsui developed a catheter-over-needle kit allowing a continuous catheter placement to be performed with the ease of a single shot during peripheral nerve blocks.[1]

Dr. Tsui is currently a Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at the Stanford University[2] and is the Associate Chief and the director of research for the division of regional anesthesia with the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain medicine.[3] He is also the Director of Stanford University Pediatric Regional Anesthesia (SUPRA) at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford.[4] Dr Tsui previously held the position of Professor of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at the University of Alberta[5] and was the Director of the Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Service at the University of Alberta Hospital and the Site Chief for Anesthesia at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton.[6]

Education

Dr. Tsui completed a Diploma in Engineering, a BSc in Mathematics and a BSc in Pharmacy from Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. He graduated with a MSc in Pharmacy in 1991 from Dalhousie University and completed his MD in 1995 from Dalhousie University.[7] He completed his residency in anesthesiology at the University of Alberta in 2000 and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Peri-operative and Critical Care Echocardiography from Melbourne University, Australia.

Career

Dr. Tsui has published over 150 articles and letters (110 articles and 59 letters) covering clinical and basic research.[8] Dr. Tsui is an avid and internationally recognized researcher in many areas of regional anesthesia and is invited as a visiting professor and guest speaker to many institutions. He is the founding chair for Regional Anesthesia Cardiothoracic Enhanced Recovery (RACER) Special interest group (SIG) for the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists;[9] and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia.[10] Recently, Dr. tsui also established and became the founding chair for the Ultrasound regional and POCUS SIG (ULT-RA POCUS) with the Society of Pediatric Anesthesia.[11]

Dr. Tsui is the author of the first textbook in describing how to use ultrasound together with nerve stimulation to perform regional anesthesia, entitled "Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation-Guided Regional Anesthesia" and is a co-author of Principles of Airway Management (4th edition); he has also contributed 17 book chapters to several anesthesiology textbooks.[12] In addition, Dr. Tsui is the co-author of the first regional anesthesia in using ultrasound for pediatric patients, entitled "Pediatric Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation-Guided Regional Anesthesia Regional Anesthesia".[13]

Furthermore, Dr. Tsui is also heavily involved in the world of academic literature. He holds the position of Associate Editor for the Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Journal (2006–2022) for over 16 years and was promoted to Editor for the Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Journal in 2022,[14] He has also been an Editorial Board Member for the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia (2006–2018) for 12 years.

Dr. Tsui is also a guest reviewer for multiple journals including:

Honours and awards

2005: Alberta Heritage Clinical Investigator Renewal Award, Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research

2004: David S Sheridan Canadian Research Award, Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society

E-Catheter

Dr. Tsui is also the co-inventor of the E-catheter, the first non-kinkable catheter over needle which simplified the continuous catheter technique to increase the accuracy and placement and duration of a continuous nerve block.[28] [29] The company Pajunk GmbH & Co. KG Besitzverwaltung manufactures the catheter and it has been adopted in a number of centres around the world. In Canada, the company Dynamedical distributes the catheter kit.[30]

Tsui Test

Dr. Tsui developed the Tsui Test. The Tsui Test is a simple protocol using a low current electrical stimulation test to confirm catheter location in the epidural space during procedures like combined spinal and epidural anesthesia.[31]
