About
Dr. Jung Eun Kim is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on perioperative neuroprotection, anesthetic agent effects, and innovative monitoring techniques in minimally invasive surgery. Her most cited work, a 2022 randomized controlled trial, investigates how propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia influence optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD)—a surrogate marker for intracranial pressure—during robot-assisted laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. This study, with 15 citations, provides critical insights into anesthetic selection for procedures requiring extreme patient positioning, such as steep Trendelenburg, which can elevate intracranial pressure. By demonstrating that ONSD changes differ between the two agents, Dr. Kim’s research directly informs safer anesthetic management, reducing the risk of cerebral edema and optic nerve injury in robotic surgery patients. Her work bridges anesthesiology and surgical safety, offering evidence-based guidance for clinicians. Dr. Kim’s contributions are particularly impactful in the rapidly growing field of robotic surgery, where understanding physiological responses to positioning and anesthesia is paramount. Her findings not only advance perioperative care but also highlight her commitment to improving patient outcomes through rigorous clinical investigation.
