Description | We have demonstrated that lung injury, which occurs during during mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients, is associated with specific patterns of lung inflation and deflation. We have demonstrated optimal methods of maintaining the "open lung" (i.e. preventing collapse of the microscopic air sacs). |
Exploitation Route | The findings already influence policy and practice in intensive care units. Subsequent work will aim to personalise treatments for individual patients. |
