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 […]

Pressure support, patient effort and tidal volume: a conceptual model for a non linear interaction

Abstract Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is a form of assisted ventilation which has become frequently used, with the aim of partially unloading the patient’s inspiratory muscles. Both under- and over-assistance should be avoided to target a lung- and diaphragm- protective ventilation. Herein, we propose a conceptual model, supported by actual data, to describe how patient
