Pulmonary complications of leptospirosis

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2002

Pulmonary complications of trauma

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 1994
Pulmonary complications can be the result of direct chest trauma or can occur from indirect trauma outside of the thorax. Understanding the mechanism of pulmonary function in determining intrapulmonary shunt and physiologic deadspace can assist the clinician in assessing the severity and monitoring the progression of pulmonary injury in patients.
