About

Gustavo Frigieri is a pioneering researcher in neurocritical care and noninvasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, with a focus on perioperative neuroprotection. His most-cited work investigates ICP dynamics during robotic prostatectomy with Trendelenburg positioning, revealing how surgical positioning and venous outflow impairment can elevate ICP—particularly in elderly patients at risk for postoperative cognitive decline. This case report, with 8 citations, highlights his translational approach: bridging neurosurgical monitoring principles with anesthesiology and surgical safety. Frigieri’s major contribution lies in developing and validating noninvasive ICP waveform analysis technologies, enabling real-time assessment without invasive procedures. His research has significant implications for preventing neurological complications in high-risk surgical populations, including those undergoing robotic surgery. By demonstrating that even moderate head-down tilt can compromise cerebral hemodynamics, his work informs safer perioperative protocols. Frigieri’s impact extends through his role in advancing accessible ICP monitoring tools, potentially reducing reliance on invasive methods. His findings are particularly relevant as surgical populations age, underscoring the importance of cerebral perfusion monitoring in non-neurosurgical settings.
