Oxygen conditions oscillating between hypoxia and hyperoxia induce different effects in the pulmonary endothelium compared to constant oxygen conditions

Physiological Reports, 2021
The pulmonary endothelium is an immediate recipient of high oxygen concentrations upon oxygen therapy and mediates down‐stream responses. Cyclic collapse and reopening of atelectatic lung areas during mechanical ventilation with high fractions of ...
