About
Iolanda Mariano is a leading anesthesiology and critical care researcher whose work focuses on optimizing mechanical ventilation strategies during surgery and in intensive care. Her key research areas include intraoperative lung protection, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration, and the interplay between respiratory mechanics and patient outcomes. Mariano’s most notable contribution is her pioneering 2020 randomized pilot study comparing esophageal pressure-guided PEEP versus conventional gas exchange-guided PEEP during pelvic robotic surgery. This work, which has garnered 30 citations, challenged standard practice by demonstrating that individualized PEEP based on transpulmonary pressure may better preserve lung function during pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning. Her findings have significant implications for reducing postoperative pulmonary complications in minimally invasive surgery. Mariano’s research bridges the gap between physiological principles and clinical application, offering actionable insights for anesthesiologists worldwide. Her work is widely cited in guidelines on protective ventilation, and she continues to influence how clinicians approach intraoperative respiratory management, making her a respected voice in perioperative medicine.
