About
Juliana Monte Real is a translational researcher focused on mitigating systemic inflammatory responses and cardiopulmonary complications following major thoracic surgery. Her work bridges experimental surgery and clinical physiology, with a particular emphasis on low-resource settings where conventional thoracotomy remains prevalent. In her most-cited study, a 2023 experimental investigation in pigs, she demonstrated that vagal electrostimulation significantly reduces the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and associated cardiopulmonary complications after thoracotomy. This work offers a promising, cost-effective intervention for hospitals unable to adopt robotic surgery. With 2 citations to date, her research is gaining traction among surgeons and intensivists seeking non-pharmacological approaches to perioperative care. Monte Real’s contributions are notable for their direct applicability to improving outcomes in low-income institutions, where the burden of postoperative complications is highest. Her innovative use of neuromodulation to control inflammation marks her as an emerging voice in surgical physiology and critical care.
