About
Ester Boniolo is a critical care researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of mechanical ventilation physiology and perioperative medicine. Her most cited study, "Mechanical Ventilation Guided by Uncalibrated Esophageal Pressure May Be Potentially Harmful" (2020, 39 citations), challenges a cornerstone assumption in respiratory monitoring. By demonstrating that uncalibrated esophageal pressure measurements can misrepresent transpulmonary pressure in settings of high abdominal load—such as during pelvic robotic surgery—Boniolo provided a crucial safety warning for clinicians. This work underscores her broader contribution to refining how we assess lung mechanics in complex, real-world clinical environments. Her research has direct implications for ventilator management in both the ICU and the operating room, highlighting the risks of oversimplified monitoring. With a growing citation footprint, Boniolo is establishing herself as a careful, methodologically rigorous voice in respiratory physiology. Her findings serve as a vital reminder that precision matters when guiding life-sustaining therapies, making her a key figure for students and clinicians interested in the safe application of physiological principles at the bedside.
