Computed tomography (CT) has played an important role in improving our knowledge of the
pathophysiology of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and in determining the …

Computed tomography has completely changed the views and interpretation of ARDS,
opening a new era in our understanding of the physiological, pathological and clinical …

Objective: To determine whether differences in lung morphology assessed by computed
tomography (CT) affect the response to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).¶ Design …

Objective This review aims to show how computed tomography of the whole lung has
modified our view of acute respiratory distress syndrome, and why it impacts on the …

Pressure/volume (P/V) curves can be measured by static methods, constant or sinusoidal
flow methods and the dynostatic method that allows a breath-to-breath determination of P/V …

Study objectives To identify serial changes in the appearances of the lungs on computed
tomography (CT) in patients with established adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) …

The anatomic and physiologic response to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was
investigated using computed tomography (CT) in patients with adult respiratory distress …

The lungs respond pathologically in a stereotypical manner to a variety of insults [1]. In 1967,
Ashbaugh and colleagues documented their clinical experience of 12 adult patients, all of …

In 17 patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome, we used data derived from computed
tomographic (CT) scan densitometric analysis to validate the value of portable chest …

PURPOSE: To assess the differences in CT appearance between adult respiratory distress
syndrome due to pulmonary disease (ARDSP) and that due to extrapulmonary disease …
