About
Kiana D de Guzman is an emerging researcher in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, with a focused interest in regional anesthesia techniques for thoracic surgery. Her most cited work, a 2022 retrospective analysis comparing the serratus anterior plane block to intercostal nerve blocks in thoracic surgery, has garnered early attention with 2 citations, signaling its relevance to clinicians seeking safer, more effective pain management strategies. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks, offering insights that may reduce opioid reliance and improve patient recovery. While her citation count is modest, de Guzman’s work reflects a commitment to advancing surgical analgesia through comparative effectiveness research. Her findings are particularly notable for their potential to guide anesthesiologists in selecting optimal regional techniques for thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). As a researcher at the intersection of clinical practice and evidence-based innovation, de Guzman is building a foundation for impactful contributions to perioperative care, with her work likely to influence future guidelines and inspire further prospective trials in regional anesthesia.
