Richard D. Urman

Richard D. Urman's work focuses on anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, including pain management after surgery, opioid use reduction, sedation outside of traditional operating rooms, and patient safety in anesthesia care. Much of his recent work involves developing consensus guidelines, reviewing best practices, and analyzing safety data (such as closed-claims and quality-assurance events) to improve how patients are cared for before, during, and after procedures. This research is intended to inform clinical protocols in areas like enhanced recovery after surgery, opioid stewardship, and nonoperating room anesthesia.

Publication output was high and fairly steady through the late 2010s (peaking around 2020) but has declined substantially since 2021, with recent years showing notably lower annual counts.
