About
Dong Hyuck Kim is a clinical anesthesiologist and researcher whose work focuses on perioperative medicine, acute kidney injury (AKI), and opioid-sparing analgesia. His most-cited study, a 2023 retrospective propensity score-matched analysis comparing ketorolac- and fentanyl-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, has garnered 8 citations. This research directly addresses a critical clinical question: whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ketorolac can safely reduce opioid use without increasing the risk of AKI in high-risk surgical populations. By demonstrating comparable renal outcomes between the two analgesic regimens, Kim’s work provides evidence for safer, multimodal pain management strategies. His contributions are particularly impactful for urologic surgery, where postoperative AKI remains a significant concern. Kim’s meticulous use of propensity score matching strengthens the validity of his findings, offering actionable insights for anesthesiologists balancing pain control with renal protection. As a researcher, he bridges the gap between clinical practice and evidence-based perioperative care, with his work cited by peers seeking to optimize patient outcomes in complex surgical settings.
