About
Haeyoon Chang has made significant contributions to anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, with a focused expertise in optimizing respiratory management during robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgeries. Her research centers on improving arterial oxygenation and lung mechanics in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), a procedure that presents unique challenges due to the combination of pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning. Her most cited work, a 2016 study with 18 citations, investigated the effect of recruitment maneuvers on oxygenation in patients already receiving intraoperative 15 cmH₂O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). This research demonstrated that even with moderate PEEP, additional recruitment maneuvers can further enhance systemic oxygenation and dynamic lung compliance in patients with healthy lungs. By systematically evaluating strategies to mitigate the respiratory compromise inherent to RALP, Chang has provided practical, evidence-based guidance for intraoperative ventilation. Her work is particularly valuable for anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to improve patient safety and outcomes during minimally invasive urologic procedures, establishing her as a thoughtful contributor to the field of perioperative respiratory care.
