Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) causes a heterogeneous lung injury and
remains a serious medical problem, with one of the only treatments being supportive care in …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) consists of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
characterized by massive and heterogeneously distributed loss of lung aeration caused by …

Background Uncertain prediction of outcome in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
impedes individual patient management and clinical trial design. Objectives To develop a …

Low–tidal volume (Vt) ventilation might protect healthy lungs from volutrauma but lead to
inflammation resulting from other mechanisms, namely alveolar derecruitment and the …

Mechanical ventilation of lungs suffering from microatelectases may trigger the development
of acute lung injury (ALI). Direct lung injury by bleomycin results in surfactant dysfunction …

Looking closer at acute respiratory distress syndrome: the r... : Current Opinion in Critical Care
Looking closer at acute respiratory distress syndrome: the role of advanced imaging techniques …

Rationale: It remains unclear how prone positioning improves survival in acute respiratory
distress syndrome. Using serial computed tomography (CT), we previously reported that …

Morbidity and mortality associated with lung injury remains disappointingly unchanged over
the last two decades, in part due to the current reliance on lung macro-parameters set on the …

Purpose To present a method for simultaneous acquisition of alveolar oxygen tension
(PAO2), specific ventilation (SV), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of hyperpolarized …

Background. Aeration heterogeneity affects lung stress and influences outcomes in adults
with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesize that aeration …
