Mechanics of the lungs and chest wall in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Why is it important?

Most progresses in mechanical ventilation and outcomes of ARDS result from a better understanding of the mechanical interaction between the lung mechanics and the ventilation

Perspectives

Help clinicians to understand risks of ventilation-induced lung injury and more safely manage their patients
