ABSTRACT: Purpose
In the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), decreasing Ventilation-Perfusion Methods
In fifteen patients with moderate and severe ARDS, two PEEP levels (5 and 15 cmH2O) were applied in random order. Results
In the non-dependent region, at higher PEEP, ventilation reaching the normal Conclusions
In patients with ARDS, higher PEEP optimizes the distribution of both ventilation (in the non-dependent areas) and perfusion (in the middle and dependent lung). Bedside measure of recruitability is associated with improved Supplementary Information
