Mechanical ventilation is vital to the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome, but
it frequently leads to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Understanding the …

Although mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), it can aggravate or cause lung injury, known as …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury have a diverse spectrum

Objectives Alterations in alveolar mechanics (ie, the dynamic change in alveolar size during
tidal ventilation) are thought to play a critical role in acute lung injuries such as acute …

Alterations to the pulmonary surfactant system have been observed consistently in
ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI) including composition changes and impairments in the …

Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving therapy in several clinical situations, promoting gas
