Measurement of alveolar derecruitment in patients with acute lung injury: computerized tomography versus pressure–volume curve

INTRODUCTION: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced lung derecruitment can be assessed by a pressure–volume (P–V) curve method or by lung computed tomography (CT). However, only the first method can be used at the bedside. The aim of the study was to compare both methods for assessing alve...
