Description
Dinh Van Trung and colleagues test whether lung recruitability predicts who gains from recruitment maneuvers in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Their 2026 second look at a randomized trial studies fifty patients with moderate-to-severe disease. A chest belt sensor mapped air flow by region while a stepwise maneuver reopened collapsed lung, then set pressure support patient by patient.
Patients were split by a collapse index measured at a standard pressure level. In the high-recruitability half, blood oxygen and lung stretch rose clearly after the maneuver, driving pressure fell, and ventilation shifted toward the back of the lungs in the imaging. Low-recruitability patients gained nothing measurable, and spells of low blood pressure, rhythm trouble, and oxygen dips showed a bit more often among them. No lung rupture or cardiac arrest happened, and intensive care deaths matched. The authors back the tomography index for bedside triage of the maneuver.
