Abstract

Patients with acute respiratory failure are given mechanical ventilation (MV) for treatment and breathing support. During MV, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is applied to recruit collapsed alveoli and maximized oxygenation. However, there are no well-established methods for quantifying alveoli recruitment with PEEP increase.
