About
Nino Frank is an anaesthesiologist and critical care researcher whose work focuses on perioperative lung protection and individualised ventilation strategies. His key research areas include respiratory mechanics, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration, and the physiological impact of surgical positioning—particularly steep Trendelenburg and capnoperitoneum during robotic-assisted surgery. Frank’s most notable contribution is the development of an individualised PEEP approach guided by intratidal compliance–volume curve analysis, a method designed to optimise lung recruitment and prevent ventilation-induced injury in real time. His 2025 study on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy demonstrated how this tailored strategy can counteract the adverse effects of surgical positioning on dorsal lung ventilation and respiratory system mechanics. Though early in its citation history, this work has already garnered attention for its translational potential in perioperative medicine. Frank’s research bridges the gap between physiological monitoring and clinical practice, offering a data-driven path to safer mechanical ventilation. His contributions are particularly relevant for anaesthesiologists, intensivists, and researchers seeking to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications through precision respiratory support.
