Lung recruitment maneuvers
- gentle steps against atelectasis
Our lung recruitment maneuvers have become the tool of choice to counter atelectasis, to improve oxygenation and help prevent postoperative complications. What once was considered complex and time consuming is now seamlessly integrated into your workflow. [1] [2]
Available for our anesthesia machines Flow-i and Flow-e.
