About
Manfred Thiel is a leading researcher in perioperative medicine and anaesthesiology, with a focus on optimizing respiratory and autonomic nervous system function during surgery. His major contributions center on individualizing mechanical ventilation strategies to mitigate lung injury, particularly in high-risk surgical positions. In his highly cited 2023 study, Thiel demonstrated that individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration during Trendelenburg positioning with pneumoperitoneum significantly improves respiratory mechanics and reduces lung stress, a finding with immediate clinical relevance for preventing postoperative pulmonary complications. His 2024 proof-of-concept work further advances the field by exploring heart rate variability (HRV) as a real-time predictor of intraoperative autonomic nervous system homeostasis, linking HRV to depth of hypnosis and anesthetic concentration. This innovative approach promises to refine anesthetic management and enhance patient safety. With over 22 citations across these key papers, Thiel’s research is shaping evidence-based protocols for individualized care in challenging surgical settings, earning him recognition as a pioneer in integrating respiratory and autonomic monitoring into routine practice.
