Pulmonary Engineering Group (PEG)

The PEG is a team of researchers from the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the University Hospital Dresden (department head: Professor T. Koch).

Our group is interested in the development and evaluation of new and innovative forms of mechanical ventilation, with a focus on the therapy of acute lung failure (ALI/ARDS). We conduct research in large and small animal models at the Medical Theoretical Center (MTZ). Our clinical trials are undertaken in operating suites and intensive care units at the university hospital.

In addition, we are involved in the development of innovative tools for modeling and diagnosing the respiratory system. A number of highly skilled engineers provide us with technical expertise on this project.
