About
Yunkui Zhang is a clinical anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on perioperative sleep quality and pain management, particularly through novel analgesic interventions. Zhang’s most-cited study, “Efficacy of epidural esketamine on postoperative sleep quality after laparoscopic and robotic lower abdominal surgeries,” has garnered 7 citations since its 2024 publication. This protocol paper addresses a critical gap in postoperative recovery: the high incidence of sleep disturbances following minimally invasive surgeries. By proposing a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial to evaluate epidural esketamine—a route less explored than intravenous administration—Zhang aims to demonstrate how targeted regional analgesia can improve sleep architecture and accelerate recovery. This contribution is notable for bridging the fields of regional anesthesia and sleep medicine, offering a practical, patient-centered approach to reducing postoperative complications. Zhang’s work underscores the importance of optimizing multimodal analgesia protocols, with potential implications for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways. As an emerging voice in anesthesiology, Zhang’s research is shaping how clinicians address the often-overlooked impact of surgical stress on sleep, promising better outcomes for patients undergoing laparoscopic and robotic procedures.
