BACKGROUND: In acute lung injury, ventilation avoiding tidal hyperinflation and tidal
recruitment has been proposed to prevent ventilator-associated lung injury. Information …

Background: Lung protective ventilation using low end‐inspiratory pressures and tidal
volumes (VT) has been shown to impair alveolar recruitment and to promote derecruitment …

Objective Measurements from the pulmonary pressure-volume (PV) curve have been
proposed to adjust ventilator settings. We investigated the effects of repeated construction of …

BACKGROUND: Recruitment maneuver and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can
be used to counteract intraoperative anesthesia-induced atelectasis. Variable ventilation …

To better understand strategies for recruiting and maintaining lung volume in acute lung
injury, we examined relationships between steady-state lung volume and cumulative cyclic …

Background The morphologic effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and of two
tidal volumes were studied by computed tomography to determine whether setting the tidal …

Background Lung strain, defined as the ratio between end-inspiratory volume and functional
residual capacity, is a marker of the mechanical load during ventilation. However, changes …

Background For mechanical ventilation to be lung-protective, an accepted suggestion is to
place the tidal volume (V (T)) between the lower and upper inflection point of the airway …
