In the domain of anesthesiology and medical ventilation, decruitment is the collapse of aveoli (the little air chambers) in the lung, resulting in decreased oxygenation and air/CO2 exchange. A recruitment procedure is routinely performed, in which air is applied to the lungs at a sustained higher pressure to reopen decruited aveoli.
