Lung recruitment maneuver during proportional assist ventilation of preterm infants with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
To investigate the effect of lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on oxygenation and outcomes in preterm infants ventilated by proportional assist ventilation (PAV) for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). ⋯ LRM led to the earlier lowest FiO2 of the first 12 h of life and a shorter O2 dependency.
