About

Lucilla De Luca is an anaesthesiologist and perioperative researcher whose work focuses on improving patient outcomes in robotic-assisted surgery. Her major contribution lies in elucidating the impact of intraoperative ventilation strategies on postoperative pulmonary complications. She was the lead author of a landmark international, multicentre observational study that examined ventilation practices and outcomes following robotic-assisted abdominal surgery, a rapidly expanding field. This work, which has garnered 29 citations, provided critical, real-world data highlighting the variability in ventilation management and its association with adverse events, thereby informing safer clinical protocols. De Luca’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and anaesthetic safety, offering evidence-based guidance for the growing number of procedures performed with robotic platforms. Her findings are particularly valuable for anaesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to optimise perioperative care in minimally invasive settings. Through this high-impact study, De Luca has established herself as a key voice in the ongoing effort to standardise and improve respiratory management during complex, robot-assisted operations.
