About this trial
This study compares two ways of reopening collapsed parts of the lung in patients on a ventilator.
In one group, doctors use a small camera (bronchoscope) to guide air pressure directly to the blocked part of the lung. In the other group, increased air pressure is applied to the whole lung using the ventilator.
Patients are carefully monitored to ensure safety.
