Abstract

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized pathologically by alveolar edema, consolidation, atelectasis, hyaline membranes, and, in later stages, fibrosis [1]. These findings vary in severity throughout the involved lungs. The loss of lung units through atelectasis and small airway closure (trapping) has two important physiological consequences: decreased lung compliance (stiff lungs) and small lung volume [2].
