About
Thomas Luecke is a leading researcher in perioperative respiratory physiology and anaesthesia, with a particular focus on mechanical ventilation strategies during complex surgical procedures. His most cited work investigates the effects of individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration on respiratory and haemodynamic parameters during the Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum—a challenging clinical scenario that promotes dorsobasal atelectasis and impairs lung mechanics. Luecke’s research demonstrates that tailored PEEP can reduce pulmonary inhomogeneities and preserve end-expiratory lung volume, thereby minimising lung stress and strain. With over a decade of contributions, his work has garnered significant attention, accumulating more than 13 citations for this key study alone. His findings have practical implications for improving intraoperative ventilation and patient safety, particularly in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. Luecke’s commitment to bridging physiological principles with clinical application makes him a valuable voice in anaesthesiology and critical care, offering evidence-based guidance for clinicians navigating the delicate balance between lung protection and haemodynamic stability.
