Abstract

The author reflects on an article published within the issue which suggest that a simplified variant of such gas-based tidal mechanics methods may help clinicians to extract and separate. It mentions beneficial effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on attributed to recruitment of gas exchange airspaces and prevention of terminal airway closure. It also mentions risks and benefits of preventing atelectrauma.
