Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) and airway closure (AC) were observed in 32% and 52%, respectively, of 25 patients with ARDS investigated during mechanical ventilation in supine position with a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O. The performance of dynamic lung elastance to detect expiratory flow limitation was good and better than that to detect airway closure. The vast majority of patients with EFL also had AC; however, AC can occur in the absence of EFL.
