About
Dr. Mi Hwa Chung is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing hemodynamic monitoring during minimally invasive surgery, particularly under the challenging conditions of pneumoperitoneum and the Trendelenburg position. Her most influential work tackles a critical clinical dilemma: the unreliable nature of dynamic preload indices like pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) when using lung-protective ventilation with low tidal volumes. In her landmark 2019 study, cited over 40 times, Dr. Chung introduced the "tidal volume challenge" as a novel maneuver to restore the predictive value of these indices during robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. This contribution has provided a practical, evidence-based solution for anesthesiologists, enhancing fluid management and patient safety in a rapidly evolving surgical field. By directly addressing the conflict between modern ventilation strategies and traditional monitoring tools, her work has shaped best practices in perioperative care. Dr. Chung’s research continues to bridge the gap between technological advances in surgery and the physiological needs of patients, making her a key voice in the advancement of precision anesthesia.
