About
Dr. Jae-Wook Jung is a clinical anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative management of critical events, particularly the cardiovascular complications of anesthetic drugs. His most cited work, a 2016 case report documenting cardiac arrest following sugammadex administration in a patient with undiagnosed variant angina, has garnered 36 citations and serves as a crucial warning in the field. This report details the case of a 76-year-old man who, after an uneventful robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, experienced ventricular premature contraction bigeminy and subsequent cardiac arrest just two minutes after receiving sugammadex. The patient suffered three episodes of cardiac arrest, requiring aggressive cardiopulmonary resuscitation. By highlighting this rare but life-threatening adverse effect, Dr. Jung’s contribution has directly informed clinical guidelines and heightened awareness among anesthesiologists regarding the need for careful patient screening before neuromuscular blockade reversal. His work underscores the importance of vigilance in the post-operative period and has had a lasting impact on patient safety protocols in anesthesia.
