The recruitment to inflation ratio presented median value higher than previously reported in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients but with large variability (median, 0.79 [0.53–1.08]; range, 0.16–1.40). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome from coronavirus disease 2019, potential for lung recruitment presents large variability, while elevated dead space fraction may be a specific pathophysiological trait. In this study, we assessed the respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, ventilation inhomogeneity, potential for lung recruitment, and ventilation/perfusion mismatch by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in a cohort of intubated patients with ARDS from COVID-19.	./cache/cord-301830-nxtfhxjd.txt	./txt/cord-301830-nxtfhxjd.txt
