About
Dr. Verena Gross is a clinical anesthesiologist and perioperative researcher whose work focuses on optimizing respiratory and hemodynamic management during high-risk surgeries. Her key research areas include individualized ventilation strategies, fluid therapy, and the physiological challenges of extreme patient positioning, particularly in robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) performed in steep Trendelenburg position. Her most cited study, a prospective randomized single-blinded pilot trial (2023, 7 citations), investigates the effects of individualized high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) combined with crystalloid administration on postoperative pulmonary function. This work addresses a critical gap in perioperative care: how to mitigate the combined insults of pneumoperitoneum, head-down tilt, and mechanical ventilation. By demonstrating that tailored PEEP and fluid management can improve peri- and postoperative outcomes, Dr. Gross has contributed practical, evidence-based strategies for anesthesiologists managing complex urologic procedures. Her research is notable for its focus on translating physiological principles into individualized, patient-centered care. As a rising voice in perioperative medicine, Dr. Gross continues to advance safer anesthetic practices for patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery.
