PHYSIOLOGIC EFFECTS OF ALVEOLAR RECRUITMENT AND INSPIRATORY PAUSES DURING MODERATELY-HIGH-FREQUENCY VENTILATION DELIVERED BY A CONVENTIONAL VENTILATOR IN A SEVERE LUNG INJURY MODEL.

Physiologic effects of alveolar recruitment and inspiratory pauses during moderately-high-frequency ventilation delivered by a conventional ventilator in a severe lung injury model.

To investigate whether performing alveolar recruitment or adding inspiratory pauses could promote physiologic benefits (VT) during moderately-high-frequency positive pressure ventilation (MHFPPV) delivered by a conventional ventilator in a porcine model of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Prospective experimental laboratory study w
