About
Xixi Tang is a clinical anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative management of patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, with a particular emphasis on intracranial pressure dynamics and postoperative cognitive outcomes. Her work has pioneered the use of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement as a non-invasive surrogate for intracranial pressure (ICP) during these procedures, addressing a critical gap in understanding how surgical positioning and internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterization affect cerebral hemodynamics. In her most-cited study (2023, 9 citations), Tang demonstrated that IJV catheterization significantly increases ONSD and is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative delirium (POD), providing actionable insights for clinicians to mitigate neurological risks. Her 2022 prospective cohort study (3 citations) further established the temporal relationship between catheterization and ONSD changes, laying groundwork for safer anesthetic protocols. Tang’s contributions are particularly impactful in the rapidly expanding field of robotic surgery, where patient positioning and venous access pose unique challenges. By translating bedside ultrasound techniques into predictive tools for cognitive outcomes, she has advanced both patient safety and the evidence base for neuroprotective anesthesia.
