Biography

Dr. Chunyuan Qiu is the regional chief of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine of the Southern California Permanente Medical Group and chief at the Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center. As a clinican investigator, he is studying the possible association between labor epidural anesthesia and the development of autism in children.

To improve outcomes of hip fracture surgery in elderly patients locally and nationally, Dr. Qiu and a colleague designed a new anesthesia practice for hip fracture. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative practices he implemented became the foundation for the Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center’s hip fracture pathway. He is a pioneer for the perioperative surgical home model of perioperative care, which is officially adopted as the best anesthesia practice from American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Dr. Qiu has led an annual academic exchange program between the United States and China’s Henan province for the past 15 years.
