About
Dr. Gargi Deshpande is an anesthesiologist and perioperative researcher whose work focuses on airway management and patient safety in high-risk surgical settings. Her most-cited study, "Frequency of Positive Cuff Leak Test Before Extubation in Robotic Surgeries Done in Steep Trendelenburg Position" (2022), addresses a critical clinical question: whether the steep Trendelenburg position—commonly used in robotic pelvic surgeries—increases the risk of airway edema and failed extubation. By systematically evaluating cuff leak test results in this specific patient population, Dr. Deshpande provides evidence-based guidance for extubation decision-making, helping to prevent postoperative respiratory complications. Though her citation count is modest, this work is highly relevant to the growing field of robotic surgery and has been cited by subsequent studies on airway management in steep positioning. Dr. Deshpande’s research contributes to refining perioperative protocols, ultimately improving outcomes for patients undergoing complex minimally invasive procedures. Her focus on practical, safety-oriented questions underscores her commitment to bridging the gap between clinical observation and evidence-based practice.
