About
Wenqing Ruan is a clinical anesthesiologist and researcher whose work focuses on perioperative care, particularly in the context of robotic-assisted surgery. Dr. Ruan’s research addresses critical challenges in postoperative pulmonary complications and intraoperative emergencies. Their most cited work, a 2024 randomized controlled trial (6 citations), investigates the use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy to prevent post-extubation atelectasis in patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. This study provides valuable evidence for optimizing respiratory support in minimally invasive procedures, where pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning increase the risk of alveolar collapse. In a 2025 case report, Dr. Ruan documents the abrupt formation and spontaneous resolution of a mobile right atrial thrombus during intraoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation in da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery—a rare, life-threatening event. This report highlights the unpredictable nature of thrombotic complications in robotic surgery and contributes to the limited literature on their management. By combining rigorous clinical trials with detailed case analyses, Dr. Ruan advances the safety and efficacy of anesthetic and surgical care in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery.
