About
Dr. Meghann M. Fitzgerald is a leading anesthesiologist whose work has fundamentally shaped the perioperative management of robotic cardiac surgery. Her research focuses on the unique anesthetic challenges posed by minimally invasive techniques, particularly in totally endoscopic robotic cardiac surgery (TERCS) and robotic coronary artery bypass grafting. Dr. Fitzgerald’s major contributions include establishing evidence-based protocols for hemodynamic monitoring, ventilation strategies, and pain management in these complex procedures, directly improving patient safety and surgical outcomes. Her two-part series on robotic cardiac anesthesia, published in 2019, has become essential reading in the field, collectively garnering 17 citations and serving as a cornerstone for practitioners adopting these advanced techniques. By bridging the gap between surgical innovation and anesthetic practice, Dr. Fitzgerald has helped make robotic cardiac surgery safer and more accessible, cementing her reputation as a key authority in this rapidly evolving subspecialty.
