About the Lab
Professor Soo-Min Choi's research lab specializes in clinical pharmacology and perioperative medicine, focusing on optimizing anesthesia and postoperative pain management. The lab investigates the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anesthetic and analgesic agents, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly. Key research directions include the use of patient-controlled analgesia, sedation management with propofol, and minimizing adverse effects in surgical patients. The lab employs advanced modeling techniques to tailor drug delivery and improve patient outcomes.

2In this retrospective analysis of 10,575 patients who used fentanyl-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) after surgery, we evaluated difference between young and elderly patients on their characteristic of adverse effects.We reviewed the data collected from the patients who were provided IV-PCA for pain control following elective surgery under either general or spinal anesthesia between September 2010 and March 2014. Postoperative pain, incidence of PCA-related adverse effects
Sedation can increase patient comfort during spinal anaesthesia. Understanding the relationship between the propofol effect-site concentration (Ce) and patient sedation level could help clinicians achieve the desired sedation level with minimal side effects. We aimed to model the relationship between the propofol Ce and adequate and deep sedation and also incorporate covariates. Thirty patients scheduled for orthopaedic surgery received spinal anaesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine. Propofol was admi
