“…Alveolar recruitment, observed in the study by Ortiz (2017), was in line with the study by Aranda et al (2020), in which it was used for PEEP titration, in PCV mode, with PEEP initially of 35 cm/H2O, with pressure delta of 15 cm/H2O. Subsequently, PEEP was reduced to 15 cm/H2O, with pressure delta remaining at 15 cm/H2O.…”
