About
Raffaella Perucca is a leading anesthesiologist and critical care researcher whose work centers on optimizing mechanical ventilation and perioperative management, particularly in the challenging context of robotic surgery. Her major contributions address the intersection of anesthesiology, respiratory care, and surgical safety, with a focus on patients undergoing urologic and gynecologic robotic procedures. Perucca’s research has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines—most notably through her role in the joint SIAARTI, SIGO, and SIU task force, whose consensus paper (43 citations) provides essential protocols for anesthesia in robotic surgery. She has also advanced the understanding of intraoperative ventilation strategies, demonstrating through randomized pilot studies (30 citations) how PEEP guided by gas exchange compares to esophageal pressure monitoring. A critical finding from her work (39 citations) warns that uncalibrated esophageal pressure guidance may be potentially harmful, highlighting her commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care. With over 100 citations across her most-cited papers, Perucca’s impact is clear: she bridges the gap between complex surgical procedures and safe anesthetic practice, making her a key voice in perioperative medicine and respiratory management.
