UCSD Medical Center: Frankville David D MD

Primary Care

About

Fellowship training in pediatric and cardiothoracic anesthesiology places Dr. David D. Frankville on cases staged through UC San Diego's Hillcrest campus at 200 W Arbor Dr in 92103. Anesthesia protocols he developed for lung volume reduction surgery, pulmonary thromboendarterectomy with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, and pediatric transplantation guide cases inside the operating rooms of Hillcrest Medical Center at UC San Diego Health. A UC Berkeley graduate from 1983, Dr. Frankville has held the roles of Director of Pediatric Anesthesia at UCSD, Chief of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia at UCSD, and Chief of Anesthesia for the Spine Service at Rady Children's Hospital. Published work in Anesthesiology, CHEST, and the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia documents techniques for omphalopagus conjoined-twin separation, transesophageal-echocardiographic detection of intraoperative pulmonary embolism, and propofol dosing for pediatric MRI sedation. Spine fusion cases coordinated with UCSD orthopedic surgeon Garfin Steven R MD demand multi-hour neuromonitoring and controlled hypotension that sit squarely inside Dr. Frankville's clinical wheelhouse. The most technically demanding assignments remain deep hypothermic circulatory arrest for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, where cerebral oximetry, rewarming strategy, and coagulation management must hold across a planned period of no-flow circulation.
