About
Enrique J. Pantin is a physician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of anesthesiology, surgical innovation, and patient safety. His primary research focuses on improving perioperative pain management and developing novel technologies to enhance procedural success in clinical settings. Dr. Pantin made a significant contribution to regional anesthesia with his 2019 study on paravertebral nerve blocks using liposomal bupivacaine for pain control following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and thoracotomy (27 citations). This work provided critical evidence for extending postoperative analgesia while reducing opioid requirements. His most impactful contribution, however, is the first-in-human evaluation of a hand-held automated venipuncture device for rapid venous blood draws (2019, 55 citations). This landmark study demonstrated the feasibility of a robotic system to improve first-stick success rates, reduce clinician variability, and minimize patient trauma—particularly valuable for difficult-access populations. Dr. Pantin’s research bridges engineering and clinical medicine, addressing real-world procedural challenges. His work has been recognized for its translational potential, influencing both device development and clinical guidelines in anesthesiology and emergency care.
