Key Points

This study aims to characterize recruitment maneuvers in pediatric patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation and identify patient factors that may predict improvement in outcomes.
Single-center, retrospective cohort study conducted between 2016 and 2023
Included all invasive mechanical ventilation patients who received at least one recruitment maneuver
Analyzed changes in Pao2/Fio2 ratio and dynamic compliance before and 90 minutes after recruitment maneuvers.
Baseline Pao2/Fio2 ratio and initial PEEP level were significantly associated with oxygenation response (OR, 0.99; p=0.004; OR, 1.14; p=0.046)
Recruitment delta in pressure correlated with decreased odds of compliance response (OR, 0.93; p<0.001)
Patients with lower PEEP had over three times greater odds of an oxygenation response (OR, 3.33; p=0.004) while no association was found with ventilator-free days or PICU mortality.
