BackgroundAtelectasis is a major cause of hypoxemia during general anesthesia and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).Some previous reported that the combined use of lung recruitment procedures (LRMs) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)

The effect of open lung ventilation on right ventricular and left ventricular function in lung-lavaged pigs [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Ventilation according to the open lung concept (OLC) consists of recruitment maneuvers, followed by low tidal volume and high positive end-expiratory pressure, aiming at minimizing atelectasis.

Differentiating Phenotypes of Coronavirus Disease-2019 Pneumonia by Electric Impedance Tomography
IntroductionCoronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia has different phenotypes. Selecting the patient individualized and optimal respirator settings for the ventilated patient is a challenging process.

The Role of rescue therapies in the treatment of severe ARDS [PDF]
ARDS is characterized by a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema with bilateral chest radiograph opacities and hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy. It is a common cause of admission to the ICU due to hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ...

Noninvasive assessment of inspiratory muscle neuromechanical coupling during inspiratory threshold loading [PDF]
Diaphragm neuromechanical coupling (NMC), which reflects the efficiency of conversion of neural activation to transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), is increasingly recognized to be a useful clinical index of diaphragm function and respiratory mechanics in ...

Recruitment Maneuvers and PEEP Titration [PDF]
The injurious effects of alveolar overdistention are well accepted, and there is little debate regarding the importance of pressure and volume limitation during mechanical ventilation. The role of recruitment maneuvers is more controversial. Alveolar recruitment is desirable if it can be achieved, but the potential for recruitment is variable among ...

Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) increase the morbidity and mortality of surgery in obese patients. High levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with lung recruitment maneuvers may improve intraoperative respiratory ...

Short-term one-lung ventilation does not influence local inflammatory cytokine response after lung resection [PDF]
Background: One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a ventilation procedure used for pulmonary resection which may results in lung injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the local inflammatory cytokine response from the dependent lung after OLV and its ...

Lung recruitment in ARDS patients
Lung recruitment is used to improve oxygenation and decrease the risk of ventilator induced lung injuries. Assessing the potential of recruitability is a pre-requisite for a rational recruitment strategy and setting of PEEP.
