About

Dr. Sarah Wagner is a clinical anesthesiologist and surgical pain management researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative analgesia through innovative drug delivery systems. Her most notable contribution, the 2015 randomized controlled trial "Surgical Pain Control With Ropivacaine by Atomized Delivery (Spray)," introduced a novel method for administering local anesthetics directly to surgical sites via atomized spray technology. This study, which has garnered 12 citations, demonstrated that ropivacaine delivered in this manner provides effective, targeted pain relief while minimizing systemic side effects—a significant advance for postoperative recovery protocols. Dr. Wagner’s research bridges the gap between pharmacological precision and practical surgical application, offering a safer alternative to traditional pain management strategies. Her work is particularly impactful in outpatient and minimally invasive procedures, where rapid recovery and reduced opioid reliance are critical. By pioneering atomized delivery techniques, she has opened new avenues for personalized pain control, influencing both clinical guidelines and device development. Dr. Wagner’s dedication to evidence-based, patient-centered analgesia continues to shape the future of surgical care.
