About
Nitesh Goel is an anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the physiological challenges of robotic-assisted surgeries, particularly the impact of steep Trendelenburg positioning and pneumoperitoneum. His key contributions center on intraocular pressure (IOP) and endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure dynamics during urological and gynecological robotic procedures. In his most-cited work, a 2020 study with 13 citations, Goel quantitatively demonstrated a significant rise in IOP during robotic surgery in the steep Trendelenburg position, linking this to risks of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. He further explored ETT cuff pressure changes in a 2022 prospective study, showing how abdominal insufflation and head-down tilt increase cuff pressures, with implications for airway management. Goel has also addressed the anesthetic management of patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency undergoing robotic prostatectomy, highlighting the added risks of oxidative stress from surgery and positioning. His work is notable for bridging anesthesiology and surgical safety, providing evidence-based guidance for optimizing patient outcomes in minimally invasive robotic procedures. With a focused body of work, Goel continues to inform clinical practice in high-risk perioperative settings.
