Recruitability and effect of PEEP in SARS-Cov-2-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome	2020-05-12		.txt	text/plain	3907	242	56	In a large series of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2)-associated respiratory failure, the majority of intubated Open Access *Correspondence: francois.beloncle@univ-angers.fr 1 Département de Médecine Intensive-Réanimation, CHU d' Angers, Université d' Angers, 4 rue Larrey, 49933 Angers Cedex 9, France Full list of author information is available at the end of the article patients were ventilated with high level of positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP) [1] . In the present series of 25 SARS-Cov-2-associated ARDS, the initial respiratory mechanics assessment performed soon after intubation at PEEP 15 cmH 2 O and 5 cmH 2 O allowed to identify 16 patients as potentially highly recruitable and 9 as poorly recruitable based on the previously reported R/I ratio [7] . In this series of SARS-Cov2-associated ARDS, early respiratory mechanics assessment (at 15 and 5 cmH 2 O of PEEP) and R/I ratio calculation showed a mix of highly recruitable and poorly recruitable patients.	./cache/cord-322773-zimkzbr1.txt	./txt/cord-322773-zimkzbr1.txt
