Computed tomography assessment of PEEP-induced alveolar recruitment in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia

Abstract Background There is a paucity of data concerning the optimal ventilator management in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia; particularly, the optimal levels of positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) are unknown. We aimed to investigate the effects of two levels of PEEP on alveolar recruitment...
