The impact of ventilation mode on systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction in a porcine model of abdominal sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome

Abstract Introduction Sepsis commonly causes acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and immune hyperactivation may be a causal link. Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is common in ARDS, and VILI may potentiate organ dysfunction in severe sepsis. We used a porcine model o...
