Mr. Rongbo Zhang | Medical Technology | Best Researcher Award

Attending Physician at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University | China

Mr. Rongbo Zhang, M.Med., is an Attending Physician in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. With expertise in multimodal analgesia, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways, and non-intubated thoracic surgery (NIVATS), he has led innovative clinical research in perioperative pain management. His work on low-dose esketamine combined with paravertebral block has set new standards for opioid-sparing anesthesia, enhancing patient recovery and safety in thoracic surgery.

Professional Profile:

Education: 

Mr. Rongbo Zhang earned his Master of Medicine (M.Med.) in Anesthesiology from Chongqing Medical University, where he developed a strong foundation in clinical anesthesia, pain management, and surgical recovery protocols.

Experience:

Mr. Rongbo Zhang has served as an Attending Physician at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. He designs and administers anesthesia protocols for more than 200 non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) cases annually. His clinical leadership focuses on implementing paravertebral block (PVB) and opioid-sparing analgesic strategies, contributing to enhanced perioperative outcomes and reduced postoperative complications.

Research Interest:

  • Multimodal Analgesia – optimizing pain relief while minimizing opioid dependency.

  • Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols – integrating anesthesia strategies into holistic patient recovery pathways.

  • Non-Intubated Thoracic Surgery (NIVATS) – advancing safer, less invasive anesthetic techniques.

  • Opioid-Sparing Anesthesia – clinical innovations reducing intraoperative and postoperative opioid use.
