About
Ya-Ping Jin is a clinical anesthesiologist and researcher whose work focuses on perioperative ocular physiology and the prevention of vision-threatening complications during non-ophthalmic surgeries. Her most-cited study, a prospective randomized controlled trial published in 2018, investigated whether preoperative brimonidine tartrate 0.2% could mitigate the dramatic intraocular pressure (IOP) rise observed during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in the steep Trendelenburg position. This work, cited 10 times, directly addresses a critical patient safety concern in urologic anesthesia, demonstrating that the alpha-2 agonist failed to prevent the IOP spike—a finding that has informed clinical protocols and spurred further research into alternative protective strategies. Jin’s contributions lie at the intersection of anesthesiology and ophthalmology, highlighting the systemic effects of surgical positioning. Her rigorous, masked study design exemplifies the high-quality evidence needed to guide perioperative care, and her findings continue to influence how anesthesiologists monitor and manage ocular risks in prolonged, head-down surgeries.
