About
Lucas A B de Moura is a leading researcher in perioperative medicine, with a primary focus on ventilatory management during robotic-assisted surgery and its impact on postoperative pulmonary complications. His major contributions include the design and coordination of the AVATaR study, an international multicenter observational investigation that systematically assesses how pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning alter respiratory mechanics during general anaesthesia for robotic procedures. By establishing a rigorous protocol and statistical analysis plan, de Moura has provided a foundational framework for understanding and mitigating pulmonary risks in this rapidly expanding surgical field. His work, cited over 6 times in its initial protocol paper, has already influenced clinical guidelines and sparked further research into protective ventilation strategies. De Moura’s dedication to large-scale, collaborative evidence generation positions him as a key figure in advancing safer anaesthetic practices for minimally invasive surgery, directly benefiting patients and clinicians navigating the physiological challenges of robotic-assisted operations.
