Three Alveolar Phenotypes Govern Lung Function in Murine Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury
30 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Mechanical ventilation is an essential lifesaving therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that may cause ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) through a positive feedback between altered alveolar mechanics, edema, surfactant inactivation, and injury. Although the biophysical forces that cause VILI are well documented, a knowledge gap remains in the quantitative link between altered parenchymal...
