About
Jennifer Hargrave is a clinical researcher specializing in regional anesthesia, pain management, and fascial plane blocks for thoracic and cardiac surgery. Her work focuses on optimizing analgesia for minimally invasive procedures, where effective pain control is critical to preserving pulmonary function and reducing reliance on opioids. Hargrave's most impactful contribution is her 2023 randomized clinical trial investigating serratus anterior and pectoralis plane blocks for robotically assisted mitral valve repair, which has garnered 33 citations and established her as a leading voice in chest wall regional anesthesia for cardiac procedures. Building on this foundation, her 2024 trial further explored these fascial plane block techniques combined with liposomal bupivacaine for minimally invasive thoracic surgery, addressing the critical limitation of short analgesic duration with conventional local anesthetics. Her earlier work examining regional anesthesia strategies for minimally invasive esophagectomy reflects a consistent commitment to refining perioperative pain management across complex surgical populations. Her published responses to peer correspondence also demonstrate active engagement with the broader anesthesia community. With a growing citation record and rigorous trial methodology, Hargrave's research is meaningfully shaping evidence-based approaches to multimodal analgesia in thoracic and cardiac surgery.
