About
Massimo Antonelli is a leading figure in critical care medicine and anesthesiology, whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of mechanical ventilation in perioperative and intensive care settings. His research focuses on the intricate interplay between lung physiology and ventilator strategies, particularly the role of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in preventing ventilator-induced lung injury. In his highly cited 2024 physiologic study, Antonelli introduced the recruitment-to-inflation ratio as a novel bedside tool to assess alveolar recruitment during laparoscopic surgery, challenging conventional PEEP management by emphasizing the need to reduce dynamic lung strain. This contribution, alongside his broader body of work spanning acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and protective ventilation, has garnered over 6 citations for this specific paper and thousands across his career. A pioneer in translating complex respiratory mechanics into actionable clinical metrics, Antonelli’s achievements include leadership in international critical care societies and authorship of landmark guidelines. His research continues to empower clinicians to tailor ventilation strategies to individual patient physiology, bridging the gap between bench and bedside in the fight against lung injury.
