Dupuis, Jean-Yves (retired)

Dr. Jean-Yves Dupuis is staff anesthesiologist of the Division of Cardiac Anesthesiology. He is Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa.

Background

Dr. Dupuis received his medical degree in 1978 from the University of Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, Quebec. After working as a general practitioner for two years on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, and three years in Vanuatu, South Pacific, he completed his Anesthesia residency at the University of Sherbrooke in 1989. He then undertook a one year fellowship in Cardiac Anesthesia at the University of Ottawa. This was followed by a year of basic science research in cardiology at the University of Sherbrooke, where he developed an interest in heart failure and the relationship between myocardial function and beta-adrenergic signal transduction. In 1992, after a year on the Anesthesia teaching staff at the University of Sherbrooke, he joined the Department of Anesthesiology at the Heart Institute.

He is a regular contributor, as a principal or co-investigator, to single and multicentre randomized trials assessing new drugs and therapies in the perioperative setting of cardiac surgery.

Dr. Dupuis was an active member of the Education Committee of the University of Ottawa Department of Anesthesia from 1993 to 2000, and received the Department of Anesthesia Teacher of the Year Award in 1994 and 1999. In 2003, he received the prestigious David Roberts Award for being a role model for the group of residents finishing their Anesthesia Training at the University of Ottawa that year. He has supervised 28 anesthesiologists who completed a Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Research and clinical interests

Dr. Dupuis’ research interests are perioperative epidemiology and the analysis of medical practice in the cardiac surgical population.
