Because of the high degree of inhomogeneity in the respiratory system of ARDS patients, an increase of PEEP introduces regional lung overdistension and recruitment at the same time. Little is known on how the regional lung overdistension and recruitment influence regional ventilation-perfusion (V-Q) matching (shunt and dead space) in response to PEEP increase. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between lung overdistension/recruitment induced by PEEP and ventilation-perfusion matching in patients suffering from or being at high risk of developing ARDS.
