About
Stephanie Scherz is a leading anaesthesiology and critical care researcher whose work focuses on individualised ventilation strategies during surgery, particularly using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to guide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Her landmark 2020 study, "Individualised positive end-expiratory pressure guided by electrical impedance tomography for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy," demonstrated that personalised PEEP settings—tailored to each patient’s lung mechanics via real-time EIT imaging—significantly improve intraoperative oxygenation and reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. With 89 citations, this prospective, randomised controlled trial has become a cornerstone in perioperative lung-protective ventilation, influencing clinical guidelines for robotic surgery. Scherz’s contributions bridge bioengineering and anaesthesia, showing how non-invasive monitoring can optimise respiratory support in high-risk procedures. Her work has been recognised for advancing precision medicine in the operating room, earning her invitations to speak at international anaesthesia congresses. For students and researchers, Scherz exemplifies how translational research—combining bedside innovation with rigorous trial design—can directly improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.
