Paradoxical response to chest wall loading predicts a favorable mechanical response to reduction in tidal volume or PEEP

Paradoxical response to chest wall loading predicts a favorable mechanical response to reduction in tidal volume or PEEP

Abstract Background Chest wall loading has been shown to paradoxically improve respiratory system compliance (CRS) in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The most likely, albeit unconfirmed, mechanism is relief of end-tidal overdistension in ‘baby lungs’ of l...
