TLDR
Using adult guinea‐pigs, an experimental model in which alveolar surfactant phospholipids are removed by repeated lung lavage in viao, and in which the short‐term survival of the animals is ensured by artificial ventilation is proposed.
Abstract
Using adult guinea-pigs, we have developed an experimental model in which alveolar surfactant phospholipids are removed by repeated lung lavage in vivo, and in which the short-term survival of the animals is ensured by artificial ventilation. Blood gases, parameters of lung mechanics, and histologic and electron microscopic findings indicate that the lavage procedure induces a condition similar to the adult respiratory distress syndrome. We propose that our technique might be used for evaluation of pharmacological agents and various forms of artificial ventilation which have been suggested for treatment of this disease.

Permissive Hyperkapnie und extrakorporaler Gasaustausch

TL;DR: Das schwere akute Lungenversagen des Erwachsenen, in der englischsprachigen Erstbeschreibung als “adult respiratory distress syndrome” (ARDS) bezeichnet, ist durch eine anhaltende, ausgepragte Storung des pulmonalen Gasaustausches, einen extremen Abfall der Lungencompliance and ein radiologisch erf

CritiCal Care MediCine

TL;DR: Pone positioning during mechanical ventilation for patients with acute lung injury has been shown to increase oxygenation and possibly improve outcome and its use during spontaneous ventilation has increased as result of the pandemic, yet details on its ventilatory effects have not been well established.

High resolution propagation-based lung imaging at clinically relevant X-ray dose levels

TL;DR: Propagation-based imaging (PBI) is a phase sensitive X-ray imaging technique capable of reaching high spatial resolutions at relatively low applied radiation dose levels as mentioned in this paper , which is the current imaging method of choice in the diagnosis of lung diseases.

TL;DR: Intensive therapy may modify the acute syndrome so as to permit the development of a previously unrecorded abnormality of hyaline-membrane disease.

Pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia following hyaline membrane disease.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the most important factor in the pathogenesis of BPD following HMD is mechanical trauma to the lung from the use of excessively high peak airway pressures during mechanical ventilation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that respiration of the newborn has a profound effect both mechanically and metabolically upon the liberation and elaboration of surface-active material.

Effect of pulmonary lavage on lung lecithin synthesis in the Syrian hamster.

TL;DR: Bronchopulmonary lavage with 0.15 m saline stimulated the uptake of [1,2-14C]choline into both the surface-active dipalmitoyl lecithin (DPL) and the unsaturated leCithins (UPC) of Syrian hamster lung, consistent with the view that alveolar lecitins are secreted by the tissue into the alveoli and that unsaturatedLecithins are the precurs
