Lung recruitment in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the relationship between the percentage of potentially recruitable lung, in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as indicated by computed tomography (CT) and effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). In ARDS, the percentage of potentially recruitable lung is extremely variable and is strongly associated with the response to PEEP.
