About
Misun Park is a clinical anesthesiologist and researcher whose work focuses on the physiological impacts of surgical positioning and pneumoperitoneum. Her key research area is perioperative hemodynamics, with a particular emphasis on how extreme patient positioning—such as the steep Trendelenburg position—affects blood rheology and viscosity during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Her most-cited study, a prospective nonrandomized observational cohort from 2020 (8 citations), provides critical insights into intraoperative changes in whole-blood viscosity, helping to inform safer anesthetic management for patients undergoing these complex urologic procedures. By quantifying the combined effects of head-down tilt and carbon dioxide insufflation on blood flow dynamics, Park’s work has practical implications for reducing thrombotic and ischemic risks in the operating room. Her contributions bridge the gap between basic hemorheology and clinical anesthesia, offering evidence-based guidance for optimizing patient outcomes. As robotic surgery continues to expand, Park’s research remains highly relevant for anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to mitigate the physiological stresses of minimally invasive techniques.
