چکیده

ACUTE LUNG INJURY AND ACUTE respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, the most severe form of acute lung injury), are potentially devastating complications of critical illness. Arising in response to direct lung injury (eg, pneumonia) or intense systemic inflammation (eg, sepsis), the pathogenesis involves pulmonary edema, diffuse cellular destruction, alveolar collapse, and disordered repair. Mortality and health care costs are high, and long-term survivors experience serious morbidity. See also pp 646, 691, and 693. Author Affiliations: are listed at the end of this article.

Context Low-tidal-volume ventilation reduces mortality in critically ill patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Instituting additional strategies to open collapsed lung tissue may further reduce mortality.

Clinical review: The implications of experimental and clinical studies of recruitment maneuvers in acute lung injury

Mechanical ventilation can cause and perpetuate lung injury if alveolar overdistension, cyclic collapse, and reopening of alveolar units occur. The use of low tidal volume and limited airway pressure has improved survival in patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome. The use of recruitment maneuvers has been proposed as an adjunct to mechanical ventilation to re-exp...

Recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure/tidal ventilation titration in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome: translating experimental results to clinical practice

Recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)/tidal ventilation titration in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) are the cornerstone of mechanical ventilatory support. The net result of these possible adjustments in ventilatory parameters is the interaction of the pressure applied in the respiratory system (airway pressure/end expiratory pressure...

Effects of recruitment maneuvers in patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome ventilated with high positive end-expiratory pressure.

OBJECTIVE Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuvers (RMs) may partially reverse atelectasis and reduce ventilation-associated lung injury. The purposes of this study were to assess a) magnitude and duration of RM effects on arterial oxygenation and on requirements for oxygenation support (Fio2/PEEP) in patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndro...

High-frequency oscillation in early adult respiratory distress syndrome

Methods Objective: The aim of the study was to compare HFOV with a conventional ventilation strategy that used low tidal volumes and high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with new-onset, early (<72 hours) moderate to severe ARDS. Design: A multicenter, randomized, controlled trial was conducted in 39 ICUs in five countries. Setting: Participants were adults with new-onset,...
