David Fanelli

David Fanelli, MD serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, focusing on clinical research at the intersection of pain management, ambulatory surgery, and orthopedic procedures. His work addresses critical gaps in perioperative care delivery for same-day surgical settings.

Research interests prominently feature:

• Pain management optimization in ambulatory surgery centers
• Advanced analgesic techniques for knee ligament reconstruction
• Pharmacological interactions of antidepressants in perioperative contexts
• Safety protocols for same-day surgical discharge
• Multimodal analgesia approaches minimizing opioid dependence

Recent publications (2021-2023) demonstrate concentrated expertise in ambulatory surgical challenges, with recurring themes of pain control standardization, discharge safety metrics, and complex knee injury management. His work bridges anesthesiology and orthopedics through clinically focused investigations into posterolateral corner instability and pharmacological considerations for emerging antidepressants.
