Resumen
The concept of the “baby lung” has gained widespread recognition in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has significantly influenced the principles of protective mechanical ventilation (MV) (1). This concept is rooted in tomographic studies performed in adult patients with ARDS, which revealed the presence of a smaller, normally aerated lung compartment at the end of expiration and normal specific lung elastance. There is a strong correlation between end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and respiratory system.
