Abstract

In the Intensive Care Medicine Aboab and coworkers [1] now show that the use of 100% O2 in inspired gas at low levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP 5 cmH2O) promotes lung collapse and impedes gas exchange in patients with acute lung injury. The collapse could be prevented or at least countered during the 30min study period by higher levels of PEEP (15 cmH2O). What do we learn from this?
