Experimental VILI begins with subpleural lung lesions
2014
We developed an experimental model of VILI, ventilating piglets at a strain (TV/FRC) >2.5. It is possible that lung inhomogeneities act as stress raisers within the lung parenchyma, locally multiplying pressures. In a healthy lung the pleural surface, vessels and bronchi are detected as natural lung inhomogeneities. We studied the development of VILI with CT scan to determine where the first lung lesion developed.
