About
Steffen Wirth is a clinical researcher at the forefront of perioperative medicine and respiratory physiology, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted surgery and critical care. His work addresses the critical challenge of optimizing mechanical ventilation during complex procedures, particularly where patient positioning and surgical techniques compromise lung function. Wirth’s major contributions include pioneering the use of intratidal compliance–volume curve analysis to individualize positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, a method that promises to mitigate the adverse respiratory effects of steep Trendelenburg positioning and capnoperitoneum. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered attention for its potential to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, his research extends to the intensive care unit, where he investigated mobilisation robotics for COVID-19 patients on ECMO therapy, a notable achievement that addresses a critical need in pandemic care. With a growing citation impact, Wirth is establishing himself as a key voice in the intersection of anaesthesiology, intensive care, and medical robotics, driving innovation that directly enhances patient safety and recovery in high-risk surgical and critical care settings.
