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 …

Mechanical ventilation can produce lung physiological and morphological alterations
termed ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Early experimental studies demonstrated that …

Despite advances in critical care, the mortality rate in patients with acute lung injury remains
high. Furthermore, most patients who die do so from multisystem organ failure. It has been …

It was recently shown that acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) mortality has not
been reduced in over 15 years and remains~ 40%, even with protective low tidal volume …

Introduction: Mechanical ventilation is required to support respiratory function in the acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but it may promote lung damage, a phenomenon …

RESEARCH INTO VENTILATOR-INDUCED LUNG INJURY (VILI) spans the decades since
this life-sustaining technology was introduced into widespread clinical use in the mid …

Mechanical ventilation applies physical stresses to the tissues of the lung and thus may give
rise to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), particular in patients with acute respiratory …

The pathophysiological mechanisms by which mechanical ventilation can contribute to lung
injury, termed “ventilator-induced lung injury”(VILI), is increasingly well understood.“ …

The main supportive therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients is mechanical
ventilation. As with any therapy, mechanical ventilation has side-effects, and may induce …

Mechanical ventilation is an essential method of patient support, but it may induce lung
damage, leading to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). VILI is the result of a complex …
