- Recruitment of unventilated alveoli
- Increase in functional residual capacity (FRC)
- Lower ventilation pressures
- Decreased transpulmonary pressure
- More effective gas exchange in comparison to conventional ventilation
- Avoids all forms of atelectasis and intra-alveolar oedema
- Improved gas exchange at lower ventilation pressures
- Stable haemodynamics without affecting fluid management
- Reduction of shear forces, resulting in reduced development of pulmonary and systemic inflammatory mediators
- Effective mobilisation of secretions
- Easy device preparation
- Easy to use
