LUS guided recruitment can change the approach to open lung ventilation, which is currently performed without any measure of lung function\/lung expansion in the neonatal population. METHODS: We included all the newborn infants that underwent a LUS-guided recruitment maneuver during mechanical ventilation as a rescue attempt for an extremely severe respiratory condition with oxygen saturation\/fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO2\/FIO2) ratio below 130 or the inability to wean off mechanical ventilation. RESULTS: We report a case series describing 4 LUS guided recruitment maneuvers, underlying crucial aspects of this technique that can improve the effectiveness of the procedure. In particular, we describe a novel pattern (the S-pattern) that allows us to distinguish the recruitable from the unrecruitable lung and guide the pressure titration phase. Additionally, we describe the optimal LUS-guided patient positioning. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that the inclusion of specifications regarding patient positioning and the S-pattern in the LUS-guided protocol may be beneficial for the success of the procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/npm-210722","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,18]],"date-time":"2021-06-18T14:48:59Z","timestamp":1624027739000},"page":"357-365","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Lung ultrasound guided pulmonary recruitment during mechanical ventilation in neonates: A case series"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Pierro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal and Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, M.
