About
Silke Borgmann is a leading anaesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on individualised ventilation strategies during robotic-assisted surgery, particularly in the challenging context of steep Trendelenburg positioning and capnoperitoneum. Her major contribution lies in developing and validating methods to optimise positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using intratidal compliance–volume curve analysis, a technique that dynamically tailors ventilator settings to each patient’s real-time respiratory mechanics. This approach directly addresses the adverse effects of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy on lung function, including decreased dorsal ventilation and compromised respiratory system mechanics. While her most-cited paper from 2025 has garnered 2 citations, her work represents a critical step toward safer, more personalised perioperative care. Borgmann’s research bridges the gap between theoretical respiratory physiology and practical clinical application, offering anaesthesiologists a data-driven tool to mitigate ventilator-induced lung injury during high-risk procedures. Her contributions are particularly valuable for researchers and clinicians seeking to improve outcomes in minimally invasive surgery, where patient-specific ventilation adjustments can significantly reduce pulmonary complications.
