New research reveals that severe COVID-19 pneumonia can cause lasting lung damage, primarily due to impaired pulmonary ...
A network of capillaries connects the alveoli to the bloodstream, creating the alveolar-capillary membrane, where the exchange of gases takes place. When people breathe in and out, oxygen and ...
The abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid, pulmonary edema settles in the lung interstitium and alveoli. There, it ...
Background—Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (Dlco), alveolar capillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm), and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) are all significantly reduced after ...
