ABSTRACT
Recruitment maneuvers have been increasingly used to reverse the alveolar derecruitment associated with low tidal volume ventilation in patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We report a case of improved oxygenation without hypotension or lung rupture, due to an early application of recruitment maneuvers (40 cmH2O of continuous positive airway pressure for 40 s, three times [at 4.5 h, 5 h, 7 h], guided by pulse oximetry) followed by a mechanical pressure controlled ventilation with 20 cmH2O of positive end-expiratory pressure in acute lung injury after femoral intramedullary nailing.
