Abstract
Unilateral acute lung injury (ALI) represents only a small, though significative, percent of all the causes of parenchymal respiratory failure. However, its clinical significance is far from marginal, owing to the high frequency of unresponsiveness to standard respiratory management. As this is due to particular pathophysiologic features, a brief description of these will precede the considerations about the possible forms of therapy.
