About

Hermann Wrigge is a leading anesthesiologist and intensive care researcher whose work centers on perioperative lung protection and individualized ventilation strategies. His major contributions lie in optimizing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during surgery—particularly in robot-assisted and laparoscopic procedures—using advanced monitoring tools like electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and esophageal pressure assessment. His most cited work, a 2020 randomized controlled trial on EIT-guided PEEP during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (89 citations), demonstrated how personalized ventilation can reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. Wrigge’s 2025 study further revealed that robot-assisted abdominal surgery carries a higher risk of pulmonary complications than conventional laparoscopy, a critical finding for surgical safety. His 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis (11 citations) consolidated evidence on intraoperative PEEP individualization, reinforcing its clinical value. Through these studies, Wrigge has advanced precision in mechanical ventilation, bridging engineering and physiology to improve patient outcomes. His research is essential for anesthesiologists and intensivists seeking to mitigate lung injury in minimally invasive surgery.
