Imaging the interaction of atelectasis and overdistension in surfactant-depleted lungs.
2013
Objective:Atelectasis and surfactant depletion may contribute to greater distension—and thereby injury—of aerated lung regions; recruitment of atelectatic lung may protect these regions by attenuating such overdistension. However, the effects of atelectasis (and recruitment) on aerated airspaces rem
