High Mobility Group Box–1 Mediates Hyperoxia-Induced Impairment of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Clearance and Inflammatory Lung Injury in Mice
1 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Mechanical ventilation with supraphysiological concentrations of oxygen (hyperoxia) is routinely used to treat patients with respiratory distress. However, a significant number of patients on ventilators exhibit enhanced susceptibility to infections and develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
