About
Anne Marie McKenzie-Brown is a leading researcher in regional anesthesia and perioperative pain management, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes in cardiac surgery. Her most cited work, a 2020 retrospective observational study on erector spinae plane blocks for robotic coronary artery bypass surgery, challenged prevailing assumptions by demonstrating that this regional technique was not associated with reduced postoperative opioid use. This finding has significant implications for evidence-based practice, urging clinicians to critically evaluate the efficacy of novel nerve blocks. Beyond this landmark study, McKenzie-Brown’s research spans acute and chronic pain pathways, emphasizing multimodal analgesia and patient-centered recovery. With nearly two decades of clinical and academic contributions, she has helped shape modern approaches to perioperative care, particularly in high-risk surgical populations. Her work, cited extensively in anesthesiology and surgical journals, underscores a commitment to rigorous methodology and practical relevance. McKenzie-Brown’s influence extends through her roles as a mentor and educator, where she champions the integration of research into bedside practice, making her a respected voice in the evolving landscape of regional anesthesia and pain medicine.
