Because of mechanical heterogeneity, regional damage may occur when airway pressure excursions give rise to excessive local stretching forces or when strong diaphragmatic contractions cause intolerable fluctuations of regional pressure.<p> American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine editorial 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 Lung 10 Critical Care 10.1164/rccm.201712-2615ED Injuries Respiration, Artificial document-rn7628 public Conditional value of raising positive end-expiratory pressure to counter vigorous breathing efforts in injured lungs [editorial]
