- ItemTidal volume is a major determinant of cyclic recruitment-derecruitment in acute respiratory distress syndrome(EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA, 2011) Bruhn, A.; Bugedo, D.; Riquelme, F.; Varas, J.; Retamal, J.; Besa, C.; Cabrera, C.; Bugedo, G.Background. Overdistension and cyclic recruitment-derecruitment contribute to ventilator-induced lung injury. High tidal volumes are thought to increase mortality mainly by inducing overdistension. However, experimental evidence suggests that tidal volume (VT) may also influence cyclic recruitment-derecruitment. Our main goal was to determine whether high tidal volumes increase cyclic recruitment-derecruitment in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, as measured by dynamic computed tomography (CT).
