Surfactant dysfunction makes lungs vulnerable to repetitive collapse and reexpansion.
TL;DR: It is concluded that perturbation of the surfactant system makes lungs vulnerable to injury by RECOREX, and the combination of DOSS and NEEP might lead to leakage of plasma proteins into alveoli, causing inactivation of surfactants and increased shear forces with resulting lung damage.

Healthy lungs tolerate repetitive collapse and reopening during short periods of mechanical ventilation
TL;DR: It is concluded that previously healthy rabbit lungs show only a transient disturbance of lung mechanics and blood gases with repetitive collapse and re‐expansion and the integrity of the alveolar rnicrostructure is preserved.

Additive nature of distension and surfactant perturbation on alveolocapillary permeability
TL;DR: The diverse kinetics of clearance during large tidal volume ventilation and surfactant dysfunction suggest the presence of different mechanisms affecting the barrier, which superimpose to produce lung injury.

Respiratory mechanics in rabbits ventilated with different tidal volumes
TL;DR: Both static and viscoelastic behaviours were linear up to larger volume ranges at large VT compared to moderate VT and Compliance increased with VT.

Dynamic properties of body plethysmographs and effects on physiological parameters.
TL;DR: The effect of distortion of flow signals from 13 infants in whom flow and esophageal pressure had been recorded was studied, finding a volume-displacement plethysmograph with moderately high resistance of the flowmeter, corrected for internal pressure and inertia gives the best possible results.
