Assessment of recruitment from CT to the bedside: challenges and future directions

Abstract Assessing and quantifying recruitability are important for characterizing ARDS severity and for reducing or preventing the atelectrauma caused by the cyclic opening and closing of pulmonary units. Over the years, several methods for recruitment assessment have been developed, grouped into three main approaches: 1) Quantitative CT Scanning: This method accurately measures the amount of […]

Ventilator induced lung injury: a case for a larger umbrella?

Summary of “Assessing lung recruitability: does it help with PEEP settings?” This editorial examines the relationship between lung recruitability and the selection of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management. While recruitability measures the potential to reinflate atelectatic lung regions, PEEP must prevent their collapse while considering additional factors like
