Dysfonction immunitaire induite par la ventilation mécanique@@@Ventilator-induced immune dysfunction

Pulmonary and immune cells can convert mechanical stimuli into biological signals that will lead to inflammation. This sterile inflammation both locally and systemically will cause immunosuppression.
