Global and Regional Heterogeneity of Lung Aeration in Neonates with Different Respiratory Disorders: A Physiologic Observational Study

Aeration heterogeneity affects lung stress and influences outcomes in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The authors hypothesize that aeration heterogeneity may differ between neonatal respiratory disorders and is associated with oxygenation, so its evaluation may be relevant in managing respiratory support.
