Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
A study of the physiologic responses to a lung recruitment maneuver in acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
To determine the magnitude, duration, and consistency of the effects of lung recruitment maneuvers (RMs) on oxygenation, lung mechanics, and comfort in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ⋯ These results do not support the addition of scheduled RMs to usual treatment for ALI or ARDS.
