Bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and usually leads to life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Treatment of patients with ARDS is difficult and usually involves protective mechanical ventilation and various types of recruitment maneuvers. A segmental lung recruitment maneuver by independent lung ventilation has been described as a successful recruitment maneuver in patients with lobar pneumonia, and may, therefore, be useful for the treatment of patients with bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by ARDS in the critical phase of the disease when all other therapeutic options have been exhausted. The aim of this case series was to present a case report of four mechanically ventilated patients with severe bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by ARDS using the segmental lung recruitment maneuver. The effect of the segmental lung recruitment maneuver was assessed by the increase in PaO2/FiO2 ratio and the lung ultrasound (LUS) scoring system (0 points—presence of sliding lungs with A-lines or one or two isolated B-lines; 1 point-moderate loss of lung ventilation with three to five B lines; 2 points-severe loss of lung ventilation with more than five B lines (B pattern); and 3 points-lung consolidation) determined 12, 24, and 48 h after segmental lung recruitment. In three of four patients with bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by ARDS, an increase in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio and an improvement in the LUS scoring system were observed 48 h after segmental lung recruitment. In conclusion, the segmental lung recruitment maneuver in patients with bilateral COVID-19 complicated by ARDS is an effective method of lung recruitment and may be a useful treatment method.
