Effect of positive end-expiratory pressure and tidal volume on lung injury induced by alveolar instability

INTRODUCTION: One potential mechanism of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is due to shear stresses associated with alveolar instability (recruitment/derecruitment). It has been postulated that the optimal combination of tidal volume (Vt) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) stabilizes al...
