Abstract

Ventilatory strategies preventing alveolar overdistension and cyclic end-expiratory collapse are now well accepted. Nevertheless, ventilation with low tidal volume may be associated with lung atelectasis and oxygenation impairment. Atelectasis may be due to compression phenomenon or to progressive alveolar gas absorption. To achieve optimal lung recruitment and to prevent collapse of lung units, several “mneuvers” are now proposed (prone position, sighs, sustained inflations). In this chapter, we will summarize some aspects regarding alveolar recruitment and stabilization during mechanical ventilation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
