About the Lab
Professor Bora Lee's research lab specializes in perioperative medicine, with a primary focus on optimizing surgical outcomes through evidence-based anesthetic and metabolic management strategies. Key research directions include the impact of preoperative nutrition (such as carbohydrate drinks) on insulin resistance and glucose variability in diabetic and older adult patients, as well as the use of intravenous iron to improve postoperative hemoglobin levels and reduce anemia-related morbidity. The lab also investigates airway management techniques and their effects on ventilation and patient safety during anesthesia. These studies aim to enhance patient recovery, reduce complications, and improve clinical decision-making in surgical settings.

본 연구는 국내 대기업의 대졸이상의 신입사원 286명을 대상으로 개인-조직 부합, 개인-부서 부합, 개인-상사 부합이 직무만족에 미치는 영향력의 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 부합의 유형별 영향력의 차이가 성격 특성에 따라서 달리 나타나는지를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구결과 개인-조직 부합, 개인-부서 부합, 개인-상사 부합 중에서 개인-부서 부합만이 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 유의미한 변인이었다. 성격유형에 따라서는 야망성이 낮은 집단에서는 어떠한 부합도 직무만족에 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 야망성이 높은 집단에서는 개인-부서 부합만이 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 변인이었다. 이와 같은 연구결과의 함의 및 후속연구에 대한 제언 등을 논의하였다.
The reduced oropharyngeal leak pressure in the extended neck position was not associated with impaired ventilation except with the air-Q self-pressurizing airway. The flexed neck position significantly worsens ventilation and the alignment between the SAD and glottis despite improving the seal except with the air-Q self-pressurizing airway and LMA Proseal.
Perioperative anaemia increases postoperative morbidity and mortality, and iron deficiency is anaemia's most common cause in surgical patients. Preoperative intravenous iron increases postoperative haemoglobin; however, data regarding intraoperative intravenous iron's effectiveness are inadequate. This study examined intraoperative intravenous iron's effects on postoperative haemoglobin levels in adults. Fifty-seven healthy subjects (aged 19-40 years) scheduled for bimaxillary orthognathic surge
BACKGROUND: Preoperative carbohydrate treatment attenuates insulin resistance and improves metabolism to an anabolic state. Despite these benefits, impaired glycemic control and aspiration risk related to gastroparesis represent concerns for patients with diabetes undergoing surgery. This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of oral carbohydrate therapy on perioperative glucose variability, metabolic responses, and gastric volume in diabetic patients undergoing elective total hip
BACKGROUND: Pain management after total knee arthroplasty is essential to improve early mobilization, rehabilitation, and recovery. Continuous adductor canal (AC) block provides postoperative analgesia while preserving quadriceps strength. However, there have been inconsistencies regarding the optimal location for continuous catheter block. We compared continuous femoral triangle, proximal AC, and distal AC blocks for postoperative analgesia after total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: Patients under
INTRODUCTION: Preoperative carbohydrate drinks are recommended to reduce fasting time before surgery. Older adults are at risk of pulmonary aspiration and hyperglycemia after consuming carbohydrate drinks because of increased insulin resistance and delayed gastric emptying. We investigated the effects of oral carbohydrate drinks on perioperative insulin resistance, metabolic responses, and gastric volume in older adults. METHODS: Fifty-six patients (aged more than 65 years) were randomly assigne
This study focuses on the design trends and characteristics of flexible housing unit plan. In this paper, flexible unit plans of 256 examples that are constructed or will be constructed from 1991 to 2005 on the basis of the initial year of dwelling are analyzed. Divided into 60㎡, 85㎡, 102㎡, 135㎡, 165㎡ and above 180㎡ areas, kinds, characteristics and trend of planning of flexible housing unit plan are analyzed with the frequency and percentage method. The results of this study are as follows; 16
Background/Objectives: Intravenous dexmedetomidine (DEX) can increase the analgesia duration of peripheral nerve block; however, its effect in combination with superior trunk block (STB) remains unclear. We examined whether combining single-shot STB (SSTB) with intravenous DEX would provide noninferior postoperative analgesia comparable to that provided by continuous STB (CSTB). Methods: Ninety-two patients scheduled for elective arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled in this prospective
BACKGROUND: Owing to an aging society, both the number of operations for patients aged >85 years and the average age of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are rapidly increasing. However, mortality is not an appropriate outcome measurement in patients aged >85 years; a more important outcome is home return (HR), because quality of life is valuable to these patients. We identified predictors for HR of patients aged >85 years admitted to the ICU after surgery. METHODS: Retrospectiv
Abstract Anaesthesiologists are increasingly involved in nonoperating room anaesthesia (NORA) for fluoroscopic procedures. However, the radiation exposure of medical staff differs among NORA settings. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the radiation environment generated by fluoroscopic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and the radiation exposure of anaesthesiologists. The dose area product (DAP), radiation entrance dose (RED), and fluoroscopy time (FT) according to the proce
Abstract The use of programmed intermittent epidural bolus for postoperative analgesia may have greater analgesic efficacy than continuous epidural infusion. However, the rapid delivery speed used with an epidural bolus is more likely to increase intracranial pressure. We compared the effects of lumbar epidural bolus versus continuous infusion epidural analgesia on intracranial pressure in children using optic nerve sheath diameter as a marker. We randomly assigned 40 paediatric patients to bolu
