About
Yuuki Yokose is a clinical researcher focused on perioperative respiratory physiology and protective ventilation strategies, particularly in high-risk surgical populations. Her major contributions center on optimizing mechanical ventilation during anesthesia, specifically through the study of pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (PC-IRV) and its effects on dead space, functional residual capacity (FRC), and ventilation-perfusion matching. In a key secondary analysis of a randomized trial (2021), she demonstrated that PC-IRV alters dead space components, offering insights into lung-protective ventilation beyond traditional cytokine-based assessments. Her 2022 study on obese patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy further advanced this work, showing that volume-targeted PC-IRV can increase FRC by generating auto-PEEP during pneumoperitoneum, a critical finding for mitigating atelectasis in this vulnerable group. Though her most-cited papers currently have 3 citations each, their clinical relevance is growing as anesthesiologists seek evidence-based strategies for obese and laparoscopic surgery patients. Yokose’s research bridges a gap between ventilator mechanics and patient outcomes, making her a rising voice in perioperative medicine.
