  ABSTRACT: Ventilator Associated Lung Injury (VALI) is an iatrogenic phenomena that significantly impacts on the morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients. The hazards associated with mechanical ventilation are becoming increasingly understood courtesy of a large body of research. Barotrauma, volutrauma and biotrauma all play a role in VALI. Concomitant to this growth in understanding is the development of strategies to reduce the deleterious impact of mechanical ventilation. The majority of the research is based upon adult populations but with careful extrapolation this review will focus on paediatrics. This review article describes the physiological basis of VALI and discusses the various lung protective strategies that clinicians can employ to minimise its incidence and optimise outcomes for paediatric patients.

  ABSTRACT: Recruitment manoeuvres play an important role in minimising ventilator associated lung injury (VALI) particularly when lung protective ventilation strategies are employed and as such clinicians should consider their application. This paper provides evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice with regard to alveolar recruitment. It includes recommendations for timing of recruitment, strategies of recruitment and methods of measuring the efficacy of recruitment manoeuvres and contributes to knowledge about the risks associated with recruitment manoeuvres. There are a range of methods for recruiting alveoli, most notably by manipulating positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) with consensus as to the most effective not yet determined. A number of studies have demonstrated that improvement in oxygenation is rarely sustained following a recruitment manoeuvre and it is questionable whether improved oxygenation should be the clinician's goal. Transient haemodynamic compromise has been noted in a number of studies with a few studies reporting persistent, harmful sequelae to recruitment manoeuvres. No studies have been located that assess the impact of recruitment manoeuvres on length of ventilation, length of stay, morbidity or mortality. Recruitment manoeuvres restore end expiratory lung volume by overcoming threshold opening pressures and are most effective when applied after circuit disconnection and airway suction. Whether this ultimately improves outcomes in adult or paediatric populations is unknown.
