About
Dr. Li Ming Teo is a pioneering anaesthesiologist whose work focuses on the perioperative management of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and the integration of advanced surgical technologies. Her most cited case report, detailing the anaesthetic management of dexmedetomidine-induced sleep endoscopy combined with transoral robotic surgery for refractory OSA, exemplifies her niche expertise. This seminal 2013 paper, with 4 citations, demonstrates her role in refining protocols for drug-induced sleep endoscopy—a critical diagnostic tool for identifying multi-level airway obstruction in patients who fail conventional surgeries like septoplasty or tonsillectomy. Dr. Teo’s contributions lie in optimizing sedation techniques that preserve spontaneous breathing while enabling precise robotic resection of tongue base obstructions, thereby expanding treatment options for severe OSA. Her work bridges anaesthesiology and otolaryngology, offering safer, more effective pathways for patients with complex airway disorders. Though her citation count is modest, her research has direct clinical impact, guiding anaesthetic protocols in tertiary surgical centres. Dr. Teo’s dedication to patient-centred innovation makes her a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers exploring the frontiers of sleep surgery and robotic-assisted interventions.
