About
Dr. Rohit Godbole is a perioperative physician and researcher whose work centers on optimizing risk assessment and outcomes in thoracic surgery, with a particular focus on pulmonary function and postoperative care. His key research areas include preoperative risk stratification, pulmonary physiology, and the prediction of complications following lung resection. Dr. Godbole’s major contribution is the pioneering use of resting physiologic dead space as a novel, non-invasive predictor of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing robotic-assisted lung resection. In his pilot study, he demonstrated that elevated dead space fraction could identify high-risk patients even when traditional measures like FEV1 and DLCO are severely reduced, offering a more accessible alternative to cardiopulmonary exercise testing. This work, cited 5 times, has begun to reshape preoperative evaluation protocols. Dr. Godbole’s research is particularly impactful for anesthesiologists and thoracic surgeons seeking to reduce PPC rates and improve surgical outcomes. His findings highlight the potential for simple bedside measurements to guide clinical decision-making, marking a significant step toward personalized perioperative care in thoracic surgery.
