Scientists are now able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model, researchers ...

Many premature infants need mechanical ventilation to breathe. However, prolonged ventilation can lead to problems like respiratory diseases or ventilation-induced injury. Jonas Naumann and Mareike ...

New research finds that premature lungs become stiffer than adult lungs under stress. This disrupts the function of transporters that are important for removing water from the lungs after birth. Many ...

Ventilator-induced lung injury arises when mechanical ventilation, while life-saving in acute respiratory failure, imposes abnormal stresses on lung tissue. Excessive tidal volumes or pressures can ...

A new study from Tulane University suggests that repeated collapse and reopening of tiny alveoli-air sacs in the lungs essential for breathing-during mechanical ventilation may cause microscopic ...

For the first time, scientists are able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model ...

Mechanical ventilation, the use of a machine to help a person breathe, was not something many people thought about all that often—until the COVID pandemic struck. Stories of patients being put on ...

A four-month-old baby boy has become one of the youngest reported patients to undergo a rare lung-sparing keyhole surgery at ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – For the first time, scientists are able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ...
