Spatial distribution of sequential ventilation during mechanical ventilation of the uninjured lung: an argument for cyclical airway collapse and expansion
Abstract Background Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) Instrument Knob is a recognized complication of mechanical ventilation.Although the specific mechanism by which mechanical ventilation causes lung injury remains an active area of study, the application of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) reduces its severity.We have previously report
