Crit Care Med 2003; 31:2592-2597. In this article, the authors observed that short-term effects of recruitment maneuvers are variable in ALI/ARDS patients receiving mechanical ventilation with low tidal volumes and high PEEP. Beneficial effects on gas exchange in responders appear to be brief, demonstrating that higher PEEP levels could be needed to sustain the effects of recruitment maneuvers.

Standardized lung recruitment dur9 ing high frequency and conventional ventilation: similar pathophysiologic and inflammatory responses in an animal model of respiratory distress syndrome.

In this article the authors concluded that using a standardized lung recruitment strategy in spontaneously breathing animals, volume targeted conventional ventilation and HFO produced equivalent outcomes.

In this article, the authors studied the morphometric evaluation of recruitment maneuvers plus PEEP compared with PEEP titration without recruitment maneuvers. They concluded that recruitment maneuvers resulted in a greater lung volume, better aeration of the most dependent lung, and less regional heterogeneity of aeration. However, the recruitment maneuvers tended to induce a greater increase in hyperaerated lung volume.

The authors reviewed the relevant scientific literature and personal observations from clinical practice about ventilatory management of ARDS. They concluded that the prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury and ventilatory strategies, including recruitment maneuvers and titration of PEEP, are a complex undertaking that requires application of principles founded on a broad experimental and clinical database and the results of well-executed clinical trials.

Zhongguo Wei Zhong Bing Ji Yi Xue 2004; 16:399-402. In this article, the authors studied 11 ARDS patients and concluded that recruited volume increases with PEEP, and the PEEP-induced increase in arterial oxygenation is significantly correlated to recruited volume.
