About
Dr. Eugenio Lujan is a leading figure in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, whose work has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of patient safety during robotic-assisted surgery. His research centers on the critical intersection of surgical positioning, ocular physiology, and anesthetic management. Dr. Lujan’s most impactful contribution is his landmark prospective cohort study, "Intraocular Pressure During Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Procedures Utilizing Steep Trendelenburg Positioning" (2015, 39 citations). This seminal paper provided the first rigorous evidence that the steep Trendelenburg position, essential for robotic pelvic surgery, causes a significant and potentially dangerous rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) even in patients with no prior eye disease. By identifying this previously underappreciated risk, Dr. Lujan’s work has directly informed clinical guidelines, prompting anesthesiologists to implement new monitoring protocols and protective strategies. His research has been instrumental in preventing vision-related complications in thousands of surgical patients, establishing a new standard of care for one of the most common modern surgical procedures.
