About
Nina Lundbom is a clinician-researcher focused on improving outcomes in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, with a particular emphasis on pulmonary complications and ventilation strategies. Her work addresses critical challenges in robotically assisted mitral valve procedures, where postoperative pulmonary dysfunction remains a significant risk. In her most cited paper (8 citations), she established reproducible radiographic criteria for diagnosing unilateral pulmonary oedema (UPO)—a severe complication of minimally invasive surgery—and analyzed its incidence and mortality. This foundational work helps standardize detection and management of UPO across surgical centers. Her second major contribution (4 citations) describes a novel minimal volume ventilation method for patients undergoing robotically assisted mitral valve surgery. By applying small tidal volumes to 40 of 174 patients, she demonstrated a potential strategy to reduce postoperative pulmonary dysfunction. Lundbom’s research bridges surgical technique and perioperative respiratory care, offering practical protocols that enhance patient safety. Her work is particularly valuable for cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensivists seeking evidence-based approaches to mitigate pulmonary risks in minimally invasive settings.
