Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the efficacy of lung ultrasonography in assessing lung recruitability and determining the optimal PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) settings based on recruitment assessment.Timepoint: Baseline—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To correlate regional lung recruitment assessed through ultrasonography with the Recruitment/Inflation (R/I) ratio and use both techniques to identify hyperinflation, aiming to optimize PEEP levels in mechanically ventilated patients with severe hypoxia.Timepoint: Baseline—
