In patients with ARDS, noncompliant lungs tend to collapse, and once collapsed, high inflation pressures are necessary to reopen the lungs. Knowledge of how the lungs in patients with ARDS inflate during mechanical ventilation is essential to our understanding of recruitment.nowledge and understanding of mechanical ventilation are central to ensuring patientsâ safe passage from the acute stage to weaning. The author discusses the science related to mechanical ventilation in patients with ARDS.
