About
Youn Jin Kim is a leading anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist whose research focuses on optimizing perioperative care, particularly in the context of robot-assisted surgeries. Based at Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Kim has made significant contributions to patient safety and monitoring during complex urological procedures. Her most cited work, a 2022 prospective observational study, pioneered the use of transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring to reduce hypercapnia in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—a critical innovation given the unique physiological challenges of Trendelenburg positioning and pneumoperitoneum. This research, which has already garnered 3 citations, demonstrates her commitment to translating real-time physiological data into actionable clinical strategies. Kim’s broader expertise encompasses anesthesiology and pain management, where she continues to refine protocols that enhance surgical outcomes and patient comfort. Her collaborative approach, working alongside colleagues at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital, underscores her role in advancing evidence-based anesthesia practices. For students and researchers, Kim’s work exemplifies how targeted monitoring can mitigate risks in minimally invasive surgery, offering a model for integrating technology with clinical care to improve patient safety.
