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: 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 airway pressure increase and duration of
recruitment maneuvers on lung function and activation of inflammation, fibrogenesis, and …

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 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 …

Objective To assess acute cardiorespiratory effects of recruitment manoeuvres in
experimental acute lung injury. Design Experimental study in animal models of acute lung …

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

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by an increased membrane
permeability; a decreased oncotic pressure; and augmented, transvascular, hydrostatic …

We examined the hypothesis that injurious ventilatory strategies (large tidal volume [Vt]
and/or low positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP]) would increase release of inflammatory …

Objectives: The biologic effects of variable ventilation may depend on the etiology of acute
respiratory distress syndrome. We compared variable and conventional ventilation in …
