Respiratory effects of different recruitment maneuvers in acute respiratory distress syndrome

Jean-Michel Constantin, Samir Jaber, Emmanuel Futier, Sophie Cayot-Constantin, Myriam Verny-Pic, Boris Jung, Anne Bailly, Renaud Guerin, Jean-Etienne Bazin Critical Care 2008, 12:R50 (16 April 2008)

Pulmonary mechanics-based recruitment maneuvers (eSigh) increased both recruited volume and oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, whereas continuous pulmonary airway pressure only increased oxygenation.
