About
Wenwen Xu is a clinical anesthesiologist and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative respiratory management, particularly in the context of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Her most-cited study, a 2023 randomized controlled trial, investigates the effects of driving pressure-guided ventilation with individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on oxygenation during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. This work addresses a critical challenge in minimally invasive surgery: the need to balance lung-protective ventilation with the physiological demands of pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning. By demonstrating that individualized PEEP guided by driving pressure can improve intraoperative oxygenation, Xu provides actionable evidence for enhancing patient safety in high-risk surgical settings. With 8 citations to date, this study has already influenced clinical discussions on ventilation strategies. Xu’s research bridges the gap between theoretical lung-protective concepts and practical, patient-tailored interventions, making her a valuable contributor to the field of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine.
