About

Dr. Eric Ehieli is a clinical anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing perioperative outcomes in urologic surgery, particularly radical prostatectomy. His most cited work, "Effect of positive end‐expiratory pressure on blood loss during retropubic and robot‐assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy" (2016), investigates how ventilator settings during anesthesia influence surgical blood loss. By evaluating 247 patients at a single institution, Dr. Ehieli provided early evidence that positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may reduce intraoperative bleeding, offering a simple, low-cost intervention to improve surgical safety. This study has garnered 5 citations, establishing a foundation for further research in anesthetic management for prostate cancer surgery. His contributions bridge anesthesiology and urology, demonstrating how careful ventilator management can enhance patient outcomes. Dr. Ehieli’s work is particularly valuable for clinicians seeking evidence-based strategies to minimize transfusion requirements and complications in high-volume surgical settings. His research underscores the critical role of anesthesiologists in surgical teams and continues to inform best practices in perioperative care.
