lung recruitment

What are the Methods of Lung Recruitment?

Several methods are employed to achieve lung recruitment in pediatric patients:
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP): PEEP helps to keep the alveoli open during expiration, reducing the likelihood of collapse.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): This method is often used in neonates to maintain a constant pressure in the airways, facilitating lung recruitment.
High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV): HFOV uses rapid, small-volume breaths to achieve alveolar recruitment while minimizing lung injury.
Sigh Breaths: Periodic larger breaths can help to open collapsed areas of the lung.
