About
Rosanna Vaschetto is a clinical researcher whose work centers on mechanical ventilation, respiratory physiology, and intraoperative pulmonary management. Her research has made meaningful contributions to the understanding of esophageal pressure monitoring and its role in optimizing ventilatory strategies, particularly in challenging surgical environments such as pelvic robotic procedures involving pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning. Vaschetto's most influential work—garnering 39 citations—challenged the safety of mechanical ventilation guided by uncalibrated esophageal pressure, highlighting potentially harmful consequences in clinical settings with high variability in abdominal load and intrathoracic pressure. This finding carries significant implications for perioperative care. Her complementary randomized pilot study, cited 30 times, compared esophageal pressure-guided PEEP against gas exchange-based strategies, advancing the evidence base for individualized ventilation during complex surgeries. More recently, her systematic review and meta-analysis examined individualized PEEP titration through electrical impedance tomography or esophageal pressure assessment, synthesizing randomized controlled trial data to guide clinical decision-making. Collectively, Vaschetto's contributions have helped refine protective ventilation protocols, bridging laboratory physiology with real-world surgical and critical care applications and establishing her as a notable voice in contemporary respiratory management research.
