About
Grietje Beck is a leading anaesthesiology and perioperative medicine researcher whose work focuses on optimising respiratory mechanics during high-risk surgical procedures. Her primary research areas include positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration, intraoperative lung protection, and the physiological effects of patient positioning. Dr. Beck’s most cited study, "Effects of individualised positive end-expiratory pressure titration on respiratory and haemodynamic parameters during the Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum" (2023, 13 citations), represents a major contribution to the field. This work systematically demonstrates how individualised PEEP strategies can mitigate dorsobasal atelectasis and reduce lung stress and strain caused by the combined effects of the Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum. By showing that tailored PEEP preserves end-expiratory lung volume without compromising haemodynamic stability, Dr. Beck has provided clinicians with an evidence-based framework for improving intraoperative respiratory care. Her research directly addresses a critical gap in perioperative medicine, helping to reduce pulmonary complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic and pelvic surgeries. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Beck’s work is increasingly recognised as essential reading for anaesthesiologists and intensivists seeking to personalise mechanical ventilation strategies.
