About

Eun Young Park is a clinical anesthesiologist whose research focuses on intraoperative monitoring and the safety of emerging surgical technologies, particularly in thyroid surgery. Her most cited work addresses a critical patient safety issue: the erroneous elevation of bispectral index (BIS) values during robot-assisted thyroidectomy when using an electromyographic endotracheal tube (EMG tube). In this case report, she demonstrated that the EMG tube—essential for laryngeal nerve monitoring—can produce misleading BIS readings, potentially leading to inadequate anesthesia delivery. This contribution, cited 9 times, has helped raise awareness among anesthesiologists about the need for multimodal monitoring in robotic head and neck procedures. Park’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and anesthetic safety, highlighting how new technologies can introduce unforeseen monitoring artifacts. Her work is particularly valuable for clinicians navigating the complexities of robotic thyroidectomy, where precise neuromuscular blockade and depth-of-anesthesia control are paramount. By documenting this clinical pitfall, she has provided a practical warning that improves perioperative decision-making. Park’s findings underscore her commitment to advancing patient safety in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery.
