Excerpt
Different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) associated or not with alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM) may have a significant impact on ventilator-induced lung injury [
1], but this issue has not been well addressed in a model of lung injury using inhaled hydrochloric acid. We aimed to evaluate the effects of PEEP and ARM on respiratory mechanics and lung tissue in an inhaled hydrochloric acid acute lung injury (ALI) model. …
