The Mechanism of the “Lung Lesion” in Shock

  • Chapter
The Fundamental Mechanisms of Shock

Abstract

The pulmonary insufficiency often associated with various forms of shock has attracted considerable attention only recently. Its incidence in critically injured patients from our highways and the battlefields of Southeast Asia has spurred considerable speculation and research. So great is the interest in this area that in 1968 the National Research Council conducted a conference on pulmonary complications of nonthoracic trauma. Several similar conferences have been held since then. Although this conference focuses more broadly on the subject of shock, the lung lesion in shock deserves careful consideration.

Funded in part by the Office of Naval Research, Subtask M4305.05.3007, and Office of Naval Research Grant NR105.621.
