Lung Recruitment

August 7th, 2009 | by admin |

Animal model (rabbit I think) of a lung ventilated at different levels of PEEP (0 cmH2O – 15 cmH2O) and the recruitment and derecuitment that occurs.

I believe this comes from Dr. sky’s lab in Toronto.

    This 1 min post displays perhaps 2, maybe more, chapters on the effects of positive presure and PEEP on the pulmonary system not to mention the hours of study trying to conceptualize the whole process. I wish I had this to see a few years ago. It would have saved a lot of headachs. Great post

    good vid, thanks. explains well why peep helps to recruit alveoli and “pop open” more of the functional chambers of the lungs for more efficient ventilation.
