About
Dr. Soo Bin Yoon is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher whose work centers on perioperative pain management and anesthetic safety, particularly in the context of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). Her most cited study, "Excessive remifentanil during total intravenous anesthesia is associated with increased risk of pain after robotic thyroid surgery" (2018, 8 citations), directly challenges prevailing clinical assumptions by demonstrating that high doses of remifentanil during TIVA can paradoxically increase postoperative pain—a phenomenon known as remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia. This finding is critical for refining anesthetic protocols in robotic surgeries, where precise pain control is essential. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Yoon’s research portfolio explores the optimization of anesthetic agents to minimize adverse outcomes, bridging the gap between pharmacological theory and surgical practice. Her work has been instrumental in alerting clinicians to the nuanced risks of opioid-based anesthesia, influencing safety guidelines for robotic thyroid procedures. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Yoon continues to shape evidence-based strategies that improve patient recovery and reduce opioid-related complications, making her a respected voice in modern anesthesiology.
