About
Suzanne Karan is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher whose work focuses on patient safety in high-risk surgical settings, particularly robotic and laparoscopic procedures. Her most cited paper, "Venous Gas Embolism During Radical Robotic Prostatectomy: A Case Report and Evidence-Based Management Algorithm" (2021), addresses a critical, life-threatening complication that can arise during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). In this work, Karan not only documents a rare but dangerous event but also provides a practical, evidence-based algorithm for rapid diagnosis and management—a contribution that has become a key reference for clinicians navigating the unique physiological challenges of pneumoperitoneum and patient positioning in robotic surgery. With 4 citations, this paper reflects her targeted impact on perioperative care and crisis resource management. Karan’s broader research portfolio explores anesthetic techniques, venous air embolism, and simulation-based training, making her a vital voice in bridging surgical innovation with anesthesiology safety. Her work is essential reading for anesthesiologists, urologic surgeons, and trainees seeking to understand and prevent rare but catastrophic intraoperative events.
