About
Dr. Itee Choudhury is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose research focuses on perioperative neuroprotection and noninvasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, particularly in high-risk surgical settings. Her most impactful contribution is the development of a novel, noninvasive method to monitor ICP via optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) during robotic surgery in the steep Trendelenburg position. This work, published in 2015 and cited 23 times, directly addressed growing concerns about neurological deterioration, decreased cerebral oxygen saturation, and postoperative visual loss associated with prolonged head-down positioning. By demonstrating that ONSD ultrasonography could reliably detect dangerous ICP elevations without invasive monitoring, Dr. Choudhury provided a practical, bedside tool that has since been adopted in neurosurgical and critical care contexts. Her research bridges the gap between anesthesiology and patient safety, offering actionable insights for clinicians managing complex robotic procedures. Dr. Choudhury’s work has been instrumental in shaping perioperative protocols to prevent devastating neurological complications, making her a key figure in the advancement of noninvasive neuromonitoring.
