About
Dr. Kathleen E. Knapp is an anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative medication management and patient safety. Her key research areas include opioid dosing practices, drug administration protocols, and the impact of pharmaceutical packaging on clinical outcomes. Dr. Knapp’s most notable contribution is her 2018 study on the effect of fentanyl ampule size on perioperative intravenous opioid dosing, which demonstrated how vial size can influence prescribing behavior and patient care. This work, cited 10 times, provides critical insights into how seemingly minor logistical factors—such as drug packaging—can affect anesthesia delivery and recovery in the post-anesthesia care unit. By highlighting the link between ampule size and dosing variability, Dr. Knapp has helped advance understanding of medication safety and standardization in surgical settings. Her research is particularly valuable for clinicians and hospital administrators seeking to reduce opioid-related risks and improve perioperative outcomes. Dr. Knapp’s work underscores the importance of examining systemic factors in drug administration, making her a thoughtful contributor to evidence-based anesthesiology practice.
