    Snippet: Airway closure is a physiological phenomenon in which the distal airways are obstructed when the airway pressure drops below the airway opening pressure. We assessed this phenomenon in 27 patients with coronavirus disease 2019-related acute respiratory distress syndrome. Twelve (44%) patients had an airway opening pressure above 5 cmH(2)O. The median airway opening pressure was 8 cmH(2)O (interquartile range, 7–10), with a maximum value of 17 cmH(2)O. Three patients had a baseline positive end
