About
Sara Rakshani-Moghadam is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on surgical safety and healthcare system resilience during public health crises. Her most impactful study, published during the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluated 30-day mortality among 500 patients undergoing non-emergency surgery in a designated "cold site" within a multicentre regional surgical network. This research demonstrated that with rigorous infection control protocols, non-emergency surgeries could be safely continued, offering a critical blueprint for maintaining surgical services during outbreaks. The paper, cited 7 times, has informed international guidelines on surgical triage and facility planning. Rakshani-Moghadam’s contributions are especially notable for addressing the urgent global challenge of surgical cancellations—estimated at two million per week—by providing evidence that elective procedures can proceed without elevated mortality risk. Her work bridges clinical practice and health policy, underscoring the importance of adaptable surgical networks. For students and researchers in perioperative medicine and disaster preparedness, her findings remain a key reference for balancing patient safety with the need to sustain essential surgical care during emergencies.
