2. Pulmonary contusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_contusion

   The membrane between alveoli and capillaries is torn; damage to this capillary–alveolar membrane and small blood vessels causes blood and fluids to leak into the alveoli and the interstitial space (the space surrounding cells) of the lung. [11] With more severe trauma, there is a greater amount of edema, bleeding, and tearing of the alveoli. [17]

   Overdistension of alveoli and cyclic atelectasis (atelectotrauma) are the primary causes for alveolar injury during positive pressure mechanical ventilation.Severe injury to alveoli causes swelling of the tissues (edema) in the lungs, bleeding of the alveoli, loss of surfactant (decrease in lung compliance) and complete alveoli collapse ().

   Right side depicts what occurs after injury to the alveolus during the acute/exudative phase. Once the initial insult has damaged the alveoli and begun the process of DAD, the condition will typically progress in three phases: exudative, proliferative, and fibrotic. [6] Below are the description of the phases, paraphrased from Sweeney et al ...

7. Alveolar lung disease - Wikipedia

   A physician will listen to the patient's lungs to help determine if there is likely a lower lung disease. Depending on the type of alveolar lung disease, the listener may hear "crackles" that indicate an excess of fluid in the lungs or an absence of lung sounds in certain regions which may indicate poor ventilation due to consolidation of pus ...
