… lungs from ventilator-induced trauma. This review addresses the concept of alveolar recruitment
for lung protection in acute lung injury. … achieve and preserve alveolar recruitment; and it …

… Second, most studies did not directly measure alveolar recruitment, making it difficult to
attribute our findings of improved oxygenation to successful RMs alone. Changes in oxygenation …

… with different degrees of lung injury and tests the hypothesis that recruitment maneuvers may

… alveolar recruitment, and 4) the different criteria used to define those who respond.
Furthermore, the distinction between pulmonary and extrapulmonary ALI/ARDS is not always clear …

… effects of specific recruitment maneuvers on lung injury severity. … type of recruitment

… It was pointed out that the local stress associated with alveolar recruitment could exceed
100 cm H 2 O if there was heterogeneity in alveolar volumes on an acinar level (29). …

… effective in improving oxygenation and alveolar recruitment only during MV at low PEEP,
suggesting that high PEEP better stabilized alveoli and prevented loss of lung volume. In the …

… Mechanical ventilation can worsen lung damage in acute lung injury and acute … lung
injury and improve outcomes in this situation. However, low tidal volumes may lead to alveolar …

… the redistribution of lung densities did not … alveolar recruitment by using the static VP curves
and to correlate this, if any, with the change in oxygenation. In addition, we determined lung …

… volume, at the higher PEEP level used in our study (20 cm H 2 O) indicates that alveolar
recruitment was maximized with PEEP and Vt alone, and that little benefit could be obtained …
