The role of high airway pressure and dynamic strain on ventilator-induced lung injury in a heterogeneous acute lung injury model
Abstract Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome causes a heterogeneous lung injury with normal and acutely injured lung tissue in the same lung. Improperly adjusted mechanical ventilation can exacerbate ARDS causing a secondary ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). We hypothesized that a pe...
