LUNG PRESERVATION AND LUNG INJURY
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995Lung preservation and its attendant ischemia-reperfusion injury is a complex phenomenon that begins with lung injury that may be present in the donor before any preservation intervention. Acute preservation interventions in common use include single-flush perfusion and donor core-cooling on cardiopulmonary bypass.

Crack lung: cocaine-induced lung injury
QJM, 2015A 31-year-old female presented with acute onset shortness of breath and chest pain. She had a past medical history of cocaine abuse and agreed that she used cocaine 2 days prior to presentation. On admission, her vitals …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents an inflammatory process that is initiated by diverse systemic and/or pulmonary insults, resulting in a clinical syndrome of severe respiratory distress and refractory hypoxemia. Neutrophils and their cytotoxic products, including oxidants and proteases, such as elastase, have been implicated as ...

Even though lungs can be injured solitarily, most of pulmonary lesions occur within the scope of multiple trauma. Because of various patho-physiological processes resulting from the multiple trauma, the valuation of extent, course and prognosis of pulmonary injuries is difficult.

Ventilator-induced lung injury
Respiratory Care Clinics, 2003Ventilator-induced lung injury has been established as a significant risk to patients receiving PPV. Animal studies have provided definitive experimental data that support the existence of VILI. Clinical studies have implied the role of VILI in ARDS and ALI patients.

The use of radiation therapy is limited by the occurrence of the potentially fatal clinical syndromes of radiation pneumonitis and fibrosis. Radiation pneumonitis usually becomes clinically apparent from 2 to 6 months after completion of radiation therapy. It is characterized by fever, cough, dyspnea, and alveolar infiltrates on chest roentgenogram and

Radiation therapy (RT) for thoracic-region tumors often causes lung injury. The incidence of lung toxicity depends on the method of assessment (eg, radiographs, patient's symptoms, or functional endpoints such as pulmonary function tests). Three-dimensional (3D) treatment planning tools provide dosimetric predictors for the risk of symptomatic RT ...

The foundation of mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome involves limiting lung overdistention by using small tidal volumes or transpulmonary pressures. Potential for additional lung recruitment with higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) should be assessed.
