About

Sei Hyuk Kwon is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher whose work centers on regional anesthesia and perioperative patient safety, with a particular focus on ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and their respiratory complications. In his landmark prospective observational study, Kwon systematically investigated the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis following ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block, a critical concern for patients undergoing carotid surgery and other neck procedures. His findings, published in 2020 and cited 28 times, provided essential data on the prevalence and clinical implications of this complication, guiding practitioners toward safer block techniques and improved patient monitoring. Beyond this work, Kwon has contributed to advancing the precision of regional anesthesia, emphasizing the role of real-time ultrasound imaging in minimizing adverse outcomes. His research has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines for cervical plexus blocks, directly impacting anesthesiology practice worldwide. Through his rigorous methodology and patient-centered approach, Kwon continues to influence the field, offering valuable insights for clinicians and researchers striving to enhance the safety and efficacy of regional anesthesia.
