Effects of recruitment maneuver on pulmonary edema in acute respiratory distress syndrome / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Recruitment maneuver(RM) refers to the process of reopening collapsed alveoli through transient lung inflations with high pressure during the mechanical ventilation in order to improve arterial oxygenation and respiratory mechanics,attenuate ventilator-induced lung injury.At present,a large number of animal experiments and clinical studies have focused on the effect of RM or factors affecting RM in acute respiratory distress syndrome.Pulmonary edema is an important pathophysiological feature of acute respiratory distress syndrome,so the effect of RM on pulmonary edema is worthy of our attention.Here is to make a review of the current progress.
