Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) can be life-threatening and it is important to prevent the
development of VILI. It remains unclear whether the prone position affects neutrophilic …

Whether prone positioning (PP) modulates acute lung inflammation by the modulation of
biomechanical forces of ventilator-induced lung injuries (VILIs) remains unclear. We aimed …

Rationale: Mechanical ventilation (MV) may initiate or worsen lung injury, known as
ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). While different VILI mechanisms have been identified …

Objective: To ascertain whether the locations of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) are
influenced by body position. Design: Randomized prospective short-term study. Setting …

Prone position may delay the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), but the
mechanisms require better elucidation. In experimental mild acute lung injury (ALI), arterial …

Objective: The common denominator in most forms of ventilator-induced lung injury is an
intense inflammatory response mediated by neutrophils. PET with [18 F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D …

Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) may initiate or worsen lung injury, so-called
ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Although different mechanisms of VILI have been …

Background Alveolar overdistension and repetitive derecruitment-recruitment contribute to
ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The authors investigated (1) whether inflammatory cell …

deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography from a porcine acute respiratory …

(VILI), inflammation is triggered by the presence of injurious mechanisms, which also cause
structural changes in the lung. Whether such inflammation precedes and may play a role in …
