About
Susann Schulz is a leading anaesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on individualised ventilation strategies during surgery, particularly in laparoscopic and robotic procedures. Her major contributions centre on the use of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to guide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings, optimising lung protection and reducing postoperative pulmonary complications. Her landmark study, "Individualised positive end-expiratory pressure guided by electrical impedance tomography for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy" (2020), with 89 citations, demonstrated that personalised PEEP improves intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory mechanics compared to standard fixed settings. This work has significant implications for enhancing patient safety in minimally invasive surgeries requiring pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning. Schulz’s research bridges critical care and surgical anaesthesia, advancing precision medicine in perioperative lung management. Her findings are widely cited by clinicians and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to reduce ventilator-induced lung injury. Through her rigorous clinical trials, Schulz has established herself as a key voice in individualised respiratory support, influencing both anaesthesia practice and future research directions in intraoperative lung protection.
