Abstract Introduction Alveolar derecruitment may occur during low tidal volume ventilation and may be prevented by recruitment maneuvers RMs . The aim of this study was to compare two RMs in acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS patients. Methods Nineteen patients with ARDS and protective ventilation were included in a randomized crossover study. Both RMs were applied in each patient beginning with either continuous positive airway pressure CPAP with 40 cm H2O for 40 seconds or extended sigh eSigh consisting of a positive end-expiratory pressure maintained at 10 cm H2O above the lower inflection point of the pressure-volume curve for 15 .
