evaluation of pulmonary surfactant mechanics under different inhaled environments via surface tension studies and light scattering

In lung injury or trauma, oxygen is often administered in excessive amounts to relieve hypoxia. However, high concentrations of oxygen can be toxic to the lung and its prolonged exposures may be lethal. The harmful effect of oxygen has mostly been attributed to cellular damage and tissue inflammatio...
