Positive pressure ventilation exposes the lung to mechanical stresses that can exacerbate injury. The exact mechanism of this pathological process remains elusive. Describe Recruitment/Derecruitment (R/D) at acinar length scales over short time frames and test the hypothesis that mechanical interdependence between neighboring lung units determines the spatial and temporal distributions of R/D, using a computational model. Experiments were performed in anaesthetized rabbits ventilated in Pressure Controlled mode (PCV). The lung was consecutively imaged at ~1.5 min intervals, at each Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) of 12, 9, 6, 3 and 0 cmH2O before and after injury. The extent and spatial distribution of R/D was analyzed by subtracting subsequent images. In a realistic lung structure we implemented a mechanistic model in which each unit has individual pressures and speeds of opening and closing. Derecruited and Recruited lung fractions (Fderecruited, Frecruited) were computed based on the comparison of the aerated volumes at successive time points. Alternative R/D occurred in neighboring alveoli over short time scales in all tested PEEP levels and despite stable PCV. The computational model reproduced this behavior only when parenchymal interdependence between neighboring acini was accounted for. Simulations closely mimicked the experimental magnitude of Fderecruited and Frecruited when mechanical interdependence was included, while its exclusion gave Frecruited values of zero at PEEP ≥ 3 cmH2O. These findings give further insight into the microscopic behavior of the injured lung and provide a means of testing protective-ventilation strategies to prevent R/D and subsequent lung damage.
