Ventilator-associated lung injury – Epidemiology
VALI is most common in patients receiving mechanical ventilation for acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS).
Possible reasons for predisposition to VALI include:
- An injured lung may be at risk for further injury
- Cyclic atelectasis is particularly common in an injured lung
Ventilator-associated lung injury – Epidemiology | Incidence
24 percent of all patients mechanically ventilated will develop VALI for reasons other than ALI or ARDS. The incidence is probably higher among patients who already have ALI/ARDS, but estimates vary widely. The variable estimates reflect the difficulty in distinguishing VALI from progressive ALI/ARDS.
