Different from the phenotypes described in [1] , the COVID-19 patients we encountered had rather low compliance and their lungs were non-recruitable, despite of large amount of non-aerated tissue. When assessing the lung recruitability with either the bedside estimates suggested in [2] , or with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) [3, 4] , we found that instead of recruiting non-aerated lung tissue, increasing PEEP to around 15 cmH 2 O rather induced overdistension in previously ventilated regions. Lung recruitment in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome Lung recruitability in SARS-CoV-2 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome: a single-center, observational study The authors equally contributed to the idea presented in the manuscript, which is derived from the observation of numerous COVID-19 patients treated in the intensive care.	./cache/cord-262489-cecg3geg.txt	./txt/cord-262489-cecg3geg.txt
