Alveolar instability (atelectrauma) is not identified by arterial oxygenation predisposing the development of an occult ventilator-induced lung injury.

Andrews PL1, Sadowitz B, Kollisch-Singule M, Satalin J, Roy S, Snyder K, Gatto LA, Nieman GF, Habashi NM.
Intensive care medicine experimental.Intensive Care Med Exp.2015 Dec;3(1):54. doi: 10.1186/s40635-015-0054-1. Epub 2015 Jun 9.
BACKGROUND: Improperly set mechanical ventilation (MV) with normal lungs can advance lung injury and increase the incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A key mechanism of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is an alteration in alveolar mechanics including alveolar instability or

高齢者の気道・肺機能

山口泰弘
日本気管食道科学会会報 65(5), 395-402, 2014
高齢者に特徴的な肺組織像である老人肺では，炎症性変化や不規則な肺胞壁の断裂を伴うことなく，気腔が拡大し，肺の弾性収縮力は低下する。また，加齢とともに胸郭は硬くなり，呼吸筋力も低下する。そのため，呼吸機能検査では，一秒率が低下，肺活量が低下，残気量が増加，肺拡散能が低下する。そのほか，特に運動時には，加齢とともに肺動脈圧は上昇しやすくなる。睡眠呼吸障害の頻度も高齢者で増加する。また，高齢者では気道過 …
