About

Neal Fleming is a leading anesthesiology researcher whose work centers on perioperative hemodynamic monitoring, with a particular focus on the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) in cardiac surgery. His most-cited study, "Current Use of the Pulmonary Artery Catheter in Cardiac Surgery: A Survey Study" (2014, 93 citations), provides a critical snapshot of clinical practice, documenting the significant decline in PAC usage amid debates over its invasiveness and efficacy. This survey, conducted among members of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, remains a key reference for understanding shifts toward less invasive monitoring technologies. Fleming's contributions help bridge the gap between evolving evidence and real-world clinical decision-making, offering valuable insights for anesthesiologists and intensivists. His work underscores the importance of balancing technological innovation with patient safety, making him a respected voice in the field. With 93 citations, this study continues to inform discussions on hemodynamic management, highlighting Fleming's role in shaping contemporary perioperative care.
