Recently,“Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry” was published, which reviewed
the physiological basis of oscillometric measures and detailed the technical factors related …

It has been shown that mechanical ventilation in patients with, or at high-risk for, the
development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be a double-edged sword …

Segmentation of lungs with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a challenging
task due to diffuse opacification in dependent regions which results in little to no contrast at …

Since its introduction in the 1950s, the forced oscillation technique (FOT) and the
measurement of respiratory impedance have evolved into powerful tools for the assessment …

Objective: Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by collapse of gravitationally
dependent lung regions that usually diverts tidal ventilation toward nondependent regions …

Objectives: Regional tidal lung strain may trigger local inflammation during mechanical
ventilation, particularly when additional inflammatory stimuli are present. However, it is …

Tissue remodeling in pulmonary disease irreversibly alters lung functionality and impacts
quality of life. Mechanical ventilation is amongst the few pulmonary interventions to aid …

Multiple thoracic imaging modalities have been developed to link structure to function in the
diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. Volumetric computed tomography (CT) renders …

Rationale: The contribution of aeration heterogeneity to lung injury during early mechanical
ventilation of uninjured lungs is unknown. Objectives: To test the hypotheses that a strategy …
