About

Dr. Mukundan Chaitra is a pioneering anaesthesiologist whose work has significantly advanced the perioperative management of robotic thoracic surgery. Her key research focuses on the unique anaesthetic challenges posed by robot-assisted thoracoscopic procedures, particularly in patients with myasthenia gravis. Her landmark 2010 study, "Robot-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy: perianaesthetic concerns," with 18 citations, remains a foundational reference in the field, detailing the careful balance of neuromuscular blockade, ventilation strategies, and hemodynamic monitoring required for these complex surgeries. Dr. Chaitra’s contributions have directly shaped safer anaesthetic protocols, reducing complications and improving outcomes for patients undergoing minimally invasive thymectomy. Her work is notable for bridging the gap between surgical innovation and anaesthetic safety, earning her recognition as a key voice in the evolving landscape of robotic surgery. For students and researchers, her research exemplifies the critical role of anaesthesiology in enabling cutting-edge surgical techniques, making her a vital figure in perioperative medicine.
