About

Dr. Alok Moharir is a pediatric anesthesiologist whose work centers on advancing perioperative safety and precision in children undergoing complex thoracic procedures. His primary research focus is the application of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to verify lung isolation during one-lung ventilation (OLV)—a critical step in minimally invasive pediatric thoracic surgery. In his most cited work, a 2019 case report with 9 citations, Dr. Moharir demonstrated how POCUS can serve as a rapid, non-invasive alternative to traditional auscultation or fiberoptic bronchoscopy for confirming effective lung separation. This contribution offers a practical, radiation-free tool that enhances real-time decision-making in the operating room, potentially reducing complications in vulnerable pediatric patients. While his citation count reflects a niche but growing field, his work underscores a broader commitment to integrating bedside ultrasound into pediatric anesthesia protocols. Dr. Moharir’s research bridges a gap between adult-focused POCUS literature and the unique anatomical and physiological challenges of children, making him a valuable voice in the evolution of safer, more efficient pediatric perioperative care.
