About
Zhen-feng Zhou is a clinical anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative respiratory management, particularly through lung-protective ventilation strategies. His primary research areas include intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), postoperative pulmonary complications, and enhanced recovery after robot-assisted urologic surgeries. Zhou’s most notable contribution is his randomized controlled trial protocol examining the effects of intraoperative PEEP on pulmonary outcomes in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical resection for bladder or prostate cancer. This study addresses a critical gap in defining appropriate PEEP levels during minimally invasive abdominal surgeries, where pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning pose unique respiratory risks. With 5 citations, his work has informed evidence-based ventilation practices in a specialized surgical population. Zhou’s research is significant for its potential to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications—a major source of morbidity—in high-risk oncologic patients. By systematically evaluating lung-protective strategies, he contributes to safer anesthesia protocols and improved surgical recovery. His protocol design reflects rigorous methodology, serving as a model for future perioperative trials. For students and researchers in anesthesiology, Zhou’s work exemplifies how targeted clinical research can bridge the gap between ventilation theory and practical, patient-centered outcomes.
