About
Dr. Nayeon Kim is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose research focuses on perioperative safety, particularly in the context of innovative surgical techniques. Her most cited work addresses a critical, under-recognized risk in transoral robotic thyroidectomy: the potential for increased intracranial pressure due to CO₂ insufflation near the brain. By employing optic nerve sheath diameter measurement as a non-invasive monitoring tool, Dr. Kim provided the first clinical evidence of this dangerous physiological change, directly informing safer anesthetic protocols. This landmark study, published in 2022, has already garnered 5 citations, establishing a new safety benchmark for robotic head and neck surgery. Beyond this, her broader contributions span airway management and neuroprotection during anesthesia. Dr. Kim’s work is notable for bridging the gap between surgical innovation and patient safety, offering practical, evidence-based solutions that protect patients from hidden risks. Her research is essential reading for anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to minimize complications in minimally invasive procedures.
