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 podocarpus gracilior column and setting of PEEP.Using a low flow pressure-volume loop is helpful to assess the potential of recruitability at the bedside.For patients with a high potential of recruitability, recruitment maneuvers are efficient with an appropriate setting of PEEP to maintain the lung recruited.
Recruitment maneuvers use pressures from 40 to 60 cmH2O for a short period of time, either cirque colors hygge with the sustained inflation or the staircase method.PEEP setting after the maneuver is important; a decreasing PEEP trial is a useful practical method.
