About
Shagun Bhatia Shah is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose work sits at the critical intersection of robotic surgery and patient safety. Her research focuses on the unique anesthetic challenges posed by minimally invasive and robotic procedures, particularly the physiological impacts of extreme patient positioning. Dr. Shah’s most impactful contribution is her seminal 2015 study on noninvasive intracranial pressure monitoring via optic nerve sheath diameter during steep Trendelenburg positioning (23 citations), which provided a practical solution for preventing neurological complications in robotic urologic and gynecologic surgeries. She has also developed clinical algorithms for managing intraoperative subcutaneous emphysema during robotic surgery and for difficult double-lumen tube placement in thoracic procedures, offering systematic approaches to complex airway management. Her work on low-temperature sterilization methods has advanced infection control in modern operating theaters. Dr. Shah is recognized for her comprehensive reviews on anesthetic considerations for robotic thyroidectomy and for coining the term “McSleepy” in the context of automated anesthesia delivery systems. With over 50 total citations, her research continues to shape perioperative care in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery.
