About
Catherine S. H. Sassoon is a leading researcher in pulmonary and critical care medicine, with a primary focus on perioperative risk assessment and respiratory physiology. Her work centers on improving outcomes for patients undergoing lung resection surgery, particularly by identifying reliable predictors of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). In her notable pilot study, Sassoon investigated resting physiologic dead space as a novel, non-invasive marker for PPC risk in robotic-assisted lung resection patients, challenging the reliance on traditional cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) for those with severely reduced lung function. This research addresses a critical gap in preoperative evaluation, offering a simpler, more accessible tool for clinicians. While her most-cited paper to date has garnered 5 citations, it represents an emerging contribution to a field where her insights are gaining traction. Sassoon’s work underscores a commitment to refining surgical risk stratification, ultimately aiming to enhance patient safety and recovery in thoracic surgery. Her efforts highlight the importance of integrating physiologic measures into routine clinical practice.
