Intratidal Overdistention and Derecruitment in the Injured Lung: A Simulation Study.
Ventilated patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are predisposed to cyclic parenchymal overdistention and derecruitment, which may worsen existing injury. We hypothesized that intratidal variations in global mechanics, as assessed at the airway opening, would reflect such distributed processes. ⋯ Titration of airway pressures based on variations in intratidal mechanics may mitigate processes associated with injurious ventilation.
