About
Dr. Gunn Hee Kim is a distinguished anesthesiologist whose clinical research focuses on perioperative management for patients with rare genetic disorders and the application of advanced surgical technologies. Her most cited work, a 2017 case report detailing the anesthetic management of a 3-year-old boy with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty, demonstrates her expertise in navigating the complex intersection of genetic predisposition and modern surgical techniques. With 8 citations, this paper has become a valuable reference for clinicians managing G6PD-deficient patients, who face heightened risks of hemolytic crises triggered by oxidative stress from certain anesthetics or surgical trauma. Dr. Kim’s meticulous approach—ensuring safe drug selection, avoiding triggers, and maintaining hemodynamic stability—highlights her commitment to individualized, high-stakes care. Her work not only advances safe anesthesia protocols for pediatric patients with metabolic disorders but also underscores the importance of tailored perioperative strategies in the era of minimally invasive surgery. Through this case, she has contributed a critical framework for anesthesiologists worldwide, bridging gaps in knowledge for rare disease management in technologically demanding procedures.
