Abstract
Patients with acute lung injury are notably complex to nurse and may require protracted physiotherapy intervention, which may take many forms. As de-recruitment was the single most important event that occurred in the present study population, a prescriptive chest physiotherapy approach to treating mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung should be questioned and adapted accordingly.
