About

Vijay Krishnamoorthy is a leading anesthesiology and critical care researcher whose work focuses on perioperative pain management and pulmonary outcomes in high-risk surgical populations. His research has significantly advanced understanding of how analgesic strategies affect patient recovery, particularly in thoracic surgery. In his landmark 2021 study, Krishnamoorthy investigated the association between gabapentinoids and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery, a critical contribution that has garnered 13 citations and informed clinical guidelines on multimodal analgesia. His comprehensive analysis of changes in analgesic strategies for lobectomy from 2009 to 2018, published in 2021, examined national trends in epidural analgesia and opioid use across open, video-assisted, and robotic-assisted approaches using the Premier database. This work has been instrumental in documenting the shift toward nonopioid alternatives and regional techniques. With a growing citation impact, Krishnamoorthy’s research bridges the gap between evidence-based pain management and improved surgical outcomes, making him a key voice in perioperative medicine and patient safety.
