Objective: In acute lung injury, recruitment maneuvers have been used to open collapsed
lungs and set positive end-expiratory pressure, but their effectiveness may depend on the …

Objective: The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that recruitment maneuvers (RMs)
might act differently in models of pulmonary (p) and extrapulmonary (exp) acute lung injury …

Objective: To investigate the effects of the rate of increase in airway pressure and duration of
lung recruitment maneuvers in experimental pulmonary and extrapulmonary acute lung …

Objective: To investigate the effects of the rate of airway pressure increase and duration of
recruitment maneuvers on lung function and activation of inflammation, fibrogenesis, and …

To compare the relative efficacy of three forms of recruitment maneuvers in diverse models
of acute lung injury characterized by differing pathoanatomy. Design: We compared three …

Objective: The role of recruitment maneuvers in mechanical ventilation for patients with the
acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury remains uncertain in part due to a …

Mechanical ventilation can cause and perpetuate lung injury if alveolar overdistension,
cyclic collapse, and reopening of alveolar units occur. The use of low tidal volume and …

Recruitment maneuvers (RM), consisting of sustained inflations at high airway pressures,
have been advocated as an adjunct to mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress …

In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the lung comprises areas of
aeration and areas of alveolar collapse, the latter producing intrapulmonary shunt and …

Objectives: To analyze alveolar dynamics in healthy and acid-injured lungs of ventilated
mice. Protective ventilation is potentially lifesaving in patients with acute lung injury …
