Abstract

Many studies investigated the role of lung recruitment in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious disease that leads to death in 40–60% of cases [1]. Recruitment can refer either to the maintenance of lung aeration through specific ventilator settings, in particular positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), or to a transient increase of transpulmonary pressure obtained with the ventilator, aimed at restoring aeration in non-aerated regions, referred to as recruitment manoeuvre [2].
