About
Dr. Dong Ho Park is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on the safety and hemodynamic effects of vasopressin use in gynecological surgery. His research has critically examined the life-threatening cardiovascular complications that can arise from the local infiltration of vasopressin—a vasoconstrictor commonly used to reduce bleeding during procedures like myomectomy. In his most-cited paper (2018, 16 citations), Dr. Park documented a case of cardiac arrest following intramyometrial injection during a robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy, highlighting the unpredictable systemic absorption of the drug. His subsequent work (2020, 6 citations) further explored how individual variations in the sympathetic and renin-angiotensin systems can lead to dangerous hemodynamic changes after accidental high-dose infiltration. By drawing attention to these rare but severe adverse events, Dr. Park has made a notable contribution to perioperative safety in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. His case reports serve as critical reminders for surgeons and anesthesiologists to remain vigilant about the potential for vasopressin-induced bradycardia, myocardial infarction, and cardiac arrest, even during routine local administration.
