About
Dr. Jae‐Kwang Shim is a leading anesthesiologist and perioperative medicine researcher whose work focuses on optimizing ventilation strategies and preserving organ function during complex robotic and laparoscopic surgeries. His most influential research addresses the critical challenge of lung protection during one-lung ventilation in the prone position for robot-assisted esophagectomy, where his landmark 2009 study comparing pressure-controlled versus volume-controlled ventilation has garnered 48 citations, establishing a safer standard for high-risk thoracic procedures. Dr. Shim has also made significant contributions to renal protection in the perioperative setting, notably demonstrating the renoprotective effects of nicardipine during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy—a study that has accumulated 18 citations and informed clinical practice for preserving kidney function under pneumoperitoneum. His work bridges the gap between advanced surgical techniques and evidence-based anesthetic management, directly impacting patient outcomes in minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Shim’s research continues to guide anesthesiologists in tailoring ventilation and pharmacological strategies to the unique physiological demands of robotic surgery, making him a respected authority in perioperative medicine.
