Increased Extravascular Lung Water Reduces the Efficacy of Alveolar Recruitment Maneuver in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Figure 1
Changes in PaO2/FiO2 following recruitment maneuver in patients with increased (>10 mL/kg) and low (<10 mL/kg) extravascular lung water indexes. EVLWI: extravascular lung water index. * between the groups (Mann-Whitney’s test).
