About
Dr. Cesare Braggio is a thoracic surgeon whose research centers on refining perioperative care and enhancing patient safety in lung surgery. His work is distinguished by a focus on two critical areas: optimizing postoperative pain management and systematically identifying and mitigating risks in the surgical pathway. In his highly cited 2023 study on "Effectiveness of Surgeon-Performed Paravertebral Block Analgesia for Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery," Dr. Braggio demonstrated how an ultrasound-guided paravertebral block, performed directly by the surgeon, can provide efficient, targeted pain relief. This work is pivotal because it addresses the operator-dependent nature of the technique, offering a practical, resource-conscious solution to a common challenge in thoracic surgery—ensuring consistent, high-quality analgesia. Building on this, his 2024 "Multicenter evaluation of patient safety incidents in lung surgery: The Epithor Patient Safety Incident study" represents a landmark contribution. As a lead investigator in a multi-center French study, he systematically cataloged perioperative safety incidents, directly linking their occurrence to worsened 90-day postoperative outcomes. This research provides a crucial evidence base for developing targeted safety protocols, moving beyond anecdotal risk to data-driven improvements. Dr. Braggio’s work is essential reading for surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to elevate both the safety and comfort of patients undergoing lung surgery.
