About

Alyson D. Kelleher is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on perioperative care and patient safety, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. Her most-cited study, "Perioperative hypothermia in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery: Incidence, risk factors, and associations with postoperative outcomes" (2023, 15 citations), represents a significant contribution to understanding and mitigating a critical yet often overlooked complication in minimally invasive thoracic procedures. By systematically identifying the incidence and risk factors for hypothermia during robotic-assisted surgeries, Kelleher has provided evidence-based insights that directly inform intraoperative temperature management protocols. This work bridges a gap between surgical innovation and perioperative nursing practice, offering actionable data to improve patient outcomes. Her research underscores the importance of maintaining normothermia in complex surgical settings, where even subtle temperature drops can impact recovery, infection rates, and length of hospital stay. Through her focused investigation, Kelleher has established herself as a key voice in the evolving field of robotic surgery safety, demonstrating how targeted clinical studies can translate into tangible improvements in patient care.
