Invited Review: Mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury: a perspective

Dos Santos, C. C., Slutsky, A. S.·2000·Journal of Applied Physiology

Abstract

Despite advances in critical care, the mortality rate in patients with acute lung injury remains high. Furthermore, most patients who die do so from multisystem organ failure. It has been postulated that ventilator-induced lung injury plays a key role in determining the negative clinical outcome of patients exposed to mechanical ventilation. How mechanical ventilation exerts its detrimental effect is as of yet unknown, but it appears that overdistension of lung units or shear forces generated during repetitive opening and closing of atelectatic lung units exacerbates, or even initiates, significant lung injury and inflammation. The term “biotrauma” has recently been elaborated to describe the process by which stress produced by mechanical ventilation leads to the upregulation of an inflammatory response. For mechanical ventilation to exert its deleterious effect, cells are required to sense mechanical forces and activate intracellular signaling pathways able to communicate the information to its interior. This information must then be integrated in the nucleus, and an appropriate response must be generated to implement and/or modulate its response and that of neighboring cells. In this review, we present a perspective on ventilator-induced lung injury with a focus on mechanisms and clinical implications. We highlight some of the most recent findings, which we believe contribute to the generation and propagation of ventilator-induced lung injury, placing a special emphasis on their implication for future research and clinical therapies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
