Negative End-Expiratory Transpulmonary Pressure, Lung Collapse, and Non-Focal ARDS Drive Tidal Recruitment During Pressure Support Ventilation

In spontaneously breathing ARDS patients on pressure support ventilation, tidal recruitment/derecruitment was strongly linked to more negative end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure, greater collapse, and non-focal infiltrates, while EIT-guided PEEP reduced recruitment/derecruitment compared with a low PEEP/FiO2 table approach.
