Lung hysteresis in a decremental PEEP trial helps identifying tidal recruitment and optimise the setting of PEEP in a personalised mechanical ventilation. Full test on Critical Care here Abstract Background In ARDS, the PEEP level associated with the best respiratory system compliance is often selected; however, intra-tidal recruitment can increase compliance, falsely suggesting improvement in […]
