About
Dr. Roberta Ribeiro De Santis Santiago is a leading pulmonary and critical care researcher whose work centers on individualized mechanical ventilation strategies, intraoperative lung protection, and advanced respiratory monitoring. Her most cited study, published in 2023, demonstrates a major contribution to perioperative medicine: using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to titrate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during laparoscopic surgery. This approach optimizes pulmonary mechanics and significantly reduces postoperative atelectasis, offering a personalized alternative to one-size-fits-all ventilation protocols. With 21 citations already, this work has rapidly influenced clinical practice and ongoing research. Dr. Santiago’s broader impact includes advancing real-time lung imaging to guide ventilator settings, improving outcomes for patients under general anesthesia. Her research bridges engineering and medicine, making her a key figure in the evolution of precision respiratory care. For students and clinicians, her work exemplifies how bedside technology can transform critical care—reducing complications while tailoring treatment to individual lung physiology.
