About

Emmanuel Besnier is a leading anesthesiology and critical care researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative pain management and respiratory outcomes in thoracic surgery. His major contributions focus on regional anesthesia techniques for patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and lung cancer resections. Besnier has been instrumental in evaluating opioid-free anesthesia strategies, demonstrating through propensity score studies that eliminating opioids can reduce postoperative complications while maintaining effective pain control. His research on the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) compared to traditional paravertebral blocks has provided critical insights into alternative analgesic approaches that may lower respiratory risks. Notably, his prospective randomized trial combining paravertebral and serratus anterior plane blocks (PVB+SAPB) represents a novel multimodal strategy to enhance recovery after thoracoscopic procedures. With his most cited work accumulating 47 citations and several recent studies gaining rapid attention, Besnier’s findings are shaping clinical guidelines for post-thoracic surgery care. His work is particularly valuable for anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking evidence-based methods to prevent pulmonary complications while minimizing opioid exposure, making him a key voice in modern perioperative medicine.
