Experimental ventilator-associated pneumonia: distribution of lung infection and consequences for lung aeration
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been described in humans and in experimental animals. The most severe lesions are located in dependent lung segments along a sterno-vertebral axis, however the cephalocaudal distribution of lung infection remains unknown. We used an experimental model to eva...
