The pressure-volume (PV) curve in acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) patients has been proposed for estimating the underlying pathology, lung recruitment and setting mechanical ventilation. The supersyringe method may lead to artifacts due to thermodynamics and gas exchange. Another possible confounding factor is the volume shift, primarily blood, out of the chest wall when the intrathoracic pressures rise. We set out to quantify the volume shift and investigate its mechanisms.
