About
Chie Hanayama is an anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on optimizing anesthetic management during complex, minimally invasive surgeries. Her key research areas include target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol, the physiological effects of CO2 pneumoperitoneum, and patient positioning in robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures. Hanayama’s most-cited study, “The predictive performance of propofol target-controlled infusion during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with CO2 pneumoperitoneum in the head-down position” (2020), investigates how steep Trendelenburg positioning and abdominal insufflation alter propofol pharmacokinetics. This work provides critical insights for anesthesiologists, demonstrating that standard TCI models may underperform in these challenging surgical contexts—a finding that directly enhances patient safety and anesthetic precision. While her citation count remains modest, her contribution addresses a significant gap in perioperative care for robotic urological surgery, a rapidly growing field. Hanayama’s research underscores the importance of tailoring drug delivery to dynamic physiological changes, offering practical guidance for clinicians navigating the intersection of technology, positioning, and pharmacology. Her work is a valuable resource for anesthesiology trainees and specialists seeking evidence-based strategies for high-risk, high-precision procedures.
