About

Luca Brazzi is a leading anesthesiologist and critical care researcher whose work focuses on perioperative outcomes in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions center on understanding and mitigating postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), a critical area as robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) becomes more prevalent. In his landmark international, multicentre observational study (2020, 29 citations), Brazzi investigated ventilation strategies and outcomes following robotic-assisted abdominal surgery, providing foundational data for safer anesthetic management. His 2025 study (11 citations) directly compared PPC incidence in RAS versus conventional laparoscopic surgery, revealing that patients undergoing RAS face a higher risk of pulmonary complications—a finding with significant implications for surgical planning and postoperative care. Brazzi has also advanced thoracic anesthesia techniques, pioneering the use of selective lobar exclusion with EZ Blocker in robotic thoracic surgery (2022, 4 citations) and demonstrating the efficacy of continuous erector spinae plane block for analgesia in robotic lung lobectomy (2021, 3 citations). His work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient safety, making him a key voice in the evolving field of robotic anesthesia.
