As far as setting positive end-expiratory pressure is concerned, further randomized clinical
studies are warranted to verify the pathophysiologic findings recently observed with …

Computed tomography (CT) has been utilized to study acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) since the middle 1980s, when it revealed the inhomogeneous pattern of the lung …

Objectives: A recent randomized trial of mechanical ventilation in acute lung injury
(ALI)/adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) demonstrated a 22% relative reduction in …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury are among the most
frequent reasons for intensive care unit admission, accounting for approximately one-third of …

In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, positive end-expiratory pressure is
associated with alveolar recruitment and lung hyperinflation despite the administration of a …

What Has Computed Tomography Taught Us about the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome?

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 …

Gentle lung ventilation must be standard practice. Because stress and strain are the triggers
of ventilator-induced lung injury, their clinical equivalents should be measured …

Over the last 25 years, lung imaging has changed our understanding of acute respiratory
