PY - 2020 DA - 2020/06/23 TI - Management of primary blast lung injury: a comparison of airway pressure release versus low tidal volume ventilation JO - Intensive Care Medicine Experimental SP - 26 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Primary blast lung injury (PBLI) presents as a syndrome of respiratory distress and haemoptysis resulting from explosive shock wave exposure and is a frequent cause of mortality and morbidity in both military conflicts and terrorist attacks. The optimal mode of mechanical ventilation for managing PBLI is not currently known, and clinical trials in humans are impossible due to the sporadic and violent nature of the disease.
