About
Dr. E. H. Heeremans is a clinical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding of cerebral haemodynamics in surgical contexts. Her primary research focuses on the physiological interplay between patient positioning, anaesthesia, and intra-abdominal pressure, particularly during laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. Her most-cited paper, "Cerebral haemodynamic physiology during steep Trendelenburg position and CO2 pneumoperitoneum" (2012, 62 citations), is a seminal contribution that systematically explores how the combination of head-down tilt and carbon dioxide insufflation affects cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure. This work has been instrumental in guiding safer perioperative management, helping clinicians mitigate the risk of cerebral oedema and ischaemia in patients undergoing prolonged procedures. By elucidating these complex physiological responses, Dr. Heeremans has provided a critical evidence base for anaesthesiologists and surgeons, directly impacting patient safety protocols. Her research stands as a key reference for those studying the cerebral effects of surgical positioning, underscoring her role as a thoughtful and impactful contributor to the field of perioperative physiology.
