About
Paolo Pelosi is a prominent researcher in perioperative respiratory medicine, with a focus on mechanical ventilation strategies during complex surgical procedures, particularly robotic-assisted and laparoscopic abdominal surgery. His work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern anesthesiology: optimizing intraoperative ventilation to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Pelosi's most influential contribution is his leadership of the AVATaR study, an international multicenter observational investigation examining ventilatory management during robotic-assisted surgery under general anesthesia. This landmark work, which has garnered 29 citations, revealed how the demanding physiological conditions of Trendelenburg positioning combined with pneumoperitoneum compromise respiratory mechanics and elevate patient risk. His subsequent research on individualized PEEP titration demonstrates a commitment to translating mechanistic insights into clinically actionable strategies. A 2025 comparative study between robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic surgery further underscores his influence on shaping evidence-based surgical and anesthetic practice. With research spanning international collaborations and rigorous trial design, Pelosi has meaningfully advanced understanding of how ventilation choices directly affect patient outcomes, making his work essential reading for anesthesiologists, intensivists, and surgical teams navigating the growing landscape of minimally invasive robotic procedures.
