About
Teresa Esposito is a leading anesthesiology and critical care researcher whose work focuses on optimizing mechanical ventilation strategies for patients undergoing surgery. Her primary research areas include positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration, electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and esophageal pressure monitoring—techniques that allow for individualized, real-time lung protection during anesthesia. Esposito’s major contribution is her 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis, which synthesized evidence from randomized controlled trials to compare EIT and esophageal pressure-guided PEEP settings. This work demonstrated that individualized PEEP, guided by these advanced monitoring tools, can improve intraoperative oxygenation and reduce postoperative pulmonary complications, offering a practical framework for clinicians to tailor ventilation to each patient’s lung mechanics. With 11 citations in a short time, her meta-analysis has quickly become a reference point for researchers exploring personalized respiratory care. Esposito’s research bridges the gap between complex physiological monitoring and bedside decision-making, making her a key voice in the movement toward precision medicine in perioperative care. Her ongoing work continues to shape how anesthesiologists approach lung-protective ventilation, with potential to reduce morbidity in surgical populations worldwide.
