Investigation of the effects of 100% oxygen on pulmonary mechanics via spherical indentation and surface tension studies
In respiratory care involving situations of reduced lung function like that in disease or trauma, oxygen is given to relieve hypoxia. It is known that under certain conditions and prolonged exposure, oxygen is toxic to the lungs, the possible mechanisms being direct cellular damage or surfactant dys...
