Infrared spectroscopic assessment of capillary-alveolar membrane permeability in acute lung injury, a biophysical perspective
Increased permeability of the alveolar-capillary membrane results in diffuse alveolar damage that leads to non-cardiogenic low-pressure pulmonary edema. Clinically, this is referred to as acute lung injury (ALI). The well-described phenomenon of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe...
