About
Mara Oana Stefan is a perioperative medicine researcher whose work focuses on the respiratory and cardiovascular physiology of patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery. Her key research areas include lung mechanics, anesthesia management, and the physiological impact of surgical positioning, particularly during video-assisted and robotic-assisted procedures. Her most-cited study, a 2022 cross-sectional propensity-matched comparison, investigates how lung mechanics are affected during video-assisted abdominal surgery in the Trendelenburg position, comparing classic laparoscopy with robotic-assisted surgery. This work addresses a critical gap in understanding how different surgical techniques influence perioperative respiratory changes, with implications for improving patient safety and anesthetic care. With 4 citations to date, her research is gaining attention among anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to optimize ventilation strategies for high-risk patients. Stefan’s contributions are particularly notable for their clinical relevance, offering evidence-based insights that help guide intraoperative decision-making in modern, technology-driven surgical settings.
