About
Jochen J. Schoettler is a leading researcher in perioperative medicine and respiratory physiology, with a focus on optimizing mechanical ventilation during high-risk surgical procedures. His work centers on understanding how surgical positioning—particularly the Trendelenburg position combined with pneumoperitoneum—affects pulmonary mechanics and hemodynamics. Schoettler’s major contributions include pioneering individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration strategies to counteract dorsobasal atelectasis and reduce lung stress and strain during laparoscopic surgery. His most-cited paper (2023, 13 citations) demonstrates that personalized PEEP settings can significantly improve respiratory mechanics and preserve end-expiratory lung volume without compromising cardiovascular stability. This work has practical implications for anesthesiologists and intensivists seeking to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury in surgical patients. Schoettler’s research bridges the gap between theoretical lung-protective ventilation and real-world intraoperative application, offering evidence-based guidance for tailoring PEEP to individual patient physiology. His findings are increasingly cited in guidelines for perioperative lung protection, highlighting his growing influence in the field.
