The early responses to direct or remote lung insult in our three models of ALI captured different physiological and biological features that could lead to respiratory and/or multiorgan failure.
Under these experimental conditions, PEEP attenuates lung injury in the setting of high vascular flow. The protective effect of PEEP is lost in a two-hit model of lung injury.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
