Recruitment-Maneuver
Objective:
– Re-expand collapsed lung tissue
– Maintain sufficient PEEP to prevent de-recruitment after RM
How-to:
– Increase end-inspiratory pressure (Pinsp) for a short time
– Impose sufficient pressure to exceed the critical opening pressure
of the affected lung region and to recruit non ventilated or poorly
ventilated lung tissue
Step 2: assess with Pulmovista® 500 if maneuver could open
the lung
