Respiratory controversies in the critical care setting. Should recruitment maneuvers be used in the management of ALI and ARDS?
Lung recruitment maneuvers are being used in the management of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, but recruitment maneuvers are controversial. The proponents argue that when properly applied to appropriately selected patients, they are effective and can be safely applied. The expectation is that the recruitment maneuver will change the course of ARDS and improve outcomes...

Treatment strategies for patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and ARDS have improved markedly in the past 2 decades.1,2 Despite these improvements, mortality and morbidity remain high in affected patients, and the optimal ventilation strategy for these patients remains controversial.3 There is general consensus, based primarily on adult studies, that low-tidal-volume strategies are associated ...
متن کاملA sigh of relief for ARDS?
Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by the acute onset of hypoxemia (ratio of PaO2 to fraction of inspired oxygen [FIO2] 300 mm Hg) and bilateral infiltrates on a frontal chest radiograph, not explained by the presence of left atrial hypertension. ALI associated with the most severe hypoxemia (PaO2/FIO2 200 mm Hg) is termed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).1 ALI and ARDS have a c...
متن کاملRecruitment Maneuvers and PEEP Titration.
The injurious effects of alveolar overdistention are well accepted, and there is little debate regarding the importance of pressure and volume limitation during mechanical ventilation. The role of recruitment maneuvers is more controversial. Alveolar recruitment is desirable if it can be achieved, but the potential for recruitment is variable among patients with ARDS. A stepwise recruitment man...
متن کاملVentilatory management of ARDS: high frequency oscillation and lung recruitment!
Many aspects of ventilatory management in patients with ARDS are still controversial and one of the major controversies is should HFO or CMV ideally be used to manage this patients. As shown by David et al. when the two approaches to ventilatory support are applied using similar principles the physiologic outcomes appear to be similar. With both approaches the use of lung recruitment maneuvers ...
