About
Joerg Krebs is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative respiratory management, particularly during laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. His key research areas include positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration, lung-protective ventilation, and the physiological effects of surgical positioning. Krebs made a major contribution with his 2023 study on individualized PEEP titration during the Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum, demonstrating how patient-specific PEEP settings can improve respiratory mechanics and haemodynamic stability in this challenging surgical context. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, addresses the critical problem of dorsobasal atelectasis formation—a common complication that impairs lung function and increases stress on pulmonary tissues. By showing that tailored PEEP reduces pulmonary inhomogeneities and preserves end-expiratory lung volume, Krebs has provided clinicians with evidence-based strategies to enhance patient safety during minimally invasive procedures. His research bridges the gap between mechanical ventilation theory and practical intraoperative care, making him a valuable voice in anaesthesiology and critical care.
