About
Dr. Hee Jung Baik is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher specializing in perioperative lung-protective ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring, and robotic surgery anesthesia. Her major contributions center on improving the reliability of dynamic preload indices—such as pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV)—during challenging surgical conditions like pneumoperitoneum and the steep Trendelenburg position. In her landmark 2019 study (40 citations), Dr. Baik demonstrated that the tidal volume challenge significantly enhances the accuracy of these indices under low tidal volume ventilation, addressing a critical gap in lung-protective strategies. She further advanced the field by comparing low versus high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using electrical impedance tomography in robotic gynecological surgery (25 citations), providing evidence-based guidance for intraoperative ventilator settings. Her work has been instrumental in reconciling the tension between lung protection and reliable fluid responsiveness assessment. Dr. Baik’s research directly impacts clinical practice in minimally invasive surgery, where traditional monitoring tools often fail. With her innovative approaches, she continues to shape safer, more precise anesthetic care for patients undergoing complex robotic procedures.
