About
Dr. Ann Hee You is a leading anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on the critical intersection of perioperative care, intraocular pressure (IOP), and intracranial dynamics during high-risk surgical positioning. Her most cited study, a 2019 investigation into the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on IOP and optic nerve sheath diameter during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, is a landmark contribution. This work directly addressed a dangerous clinical gap: how mechanical ventilation strategies impact ocular and cerebral pressure during the combined challenges of pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning. By demonstrating the protective role of 5 cmH₂O of PEEP, Dr. You provided anesthesiologists with an evidence-based strategy to mitigate the risk of vision loss and neurological complications in patients undergoing prolonged robotic surgery. Garnering 28 citations, this paper has become essential reading for clinicians managing these complex cases. Dr. You’s research is distinguished by its practical, patient-centered approach, translating complex physiological interactions into actionable guidelines that enhance surgical safety. Her work continues to shape best practices in robotic and laparoscopic anesthesia.
