About
Alisha Booms is a leading researcher in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, with a focused expertise in the pulmonary mechanics of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Her work critically examines how patient-specific factors, such as body habitus, interact with dynamic surgical conditions—like pneumoperitoneum and extreme patient positioning—to impair lung function. In her landmark 2020 study, "Body Habitus and Dynamic Surgical Conditions Independently Impair Pulmonary Mechanics during Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Surgery," which has garnered 53 citations, Booms demonstrated that increasing body mass index is independently associated with greater mechanical strain and alveolar collapse during these procedures. This research provides vital, evidence-based insights for optimizing intraoperative ventilation strategies, directly improving patient safety and outcomes in minimally invasive surgery. Her contributions are instrumental in bridging the gap between surgical technique and anesthetic management, making her a key voice in advancing perioperative care for diverse patient populations.
