Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous effort causes occult pendelluft during mechanical ventilation.

TL;DR: Spontaneous breathing effort during mechanical ventilation causes unsuspected overstretch of dependent lung during early inflation (associated with reciprocal deflation of nondependent lung) and even when not increasing tidal volume, strong spontaneous effort may potentially enhance lung damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between driving pressure and development of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation for general anaesthesia: a meta-analysis of individual patient data.

TL;DR: In patients having surgery, intraoperative high driving pressure and changes in the level of PEEP that result in an increase of driving pressure are associated with more postoperative pulmonary complications, and a randomised controlled trial comparing ventilation based on driving pressure with usual care is needed to confirm these findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bedside estimation of recruitable alveolar collapse and hyperdistension by electrical impedance tomography

TL;DR: An EIT-based method for estimating recruitable alveolar collapse at the bedside and a measure of lung hyperdistension based on regional lung mechanics, which could not be compared directly with static CT estimates for hyperinflation.
