Lung injury in brain ischemia/reperfusion is exacerbated by mechanical ventilation with moderate tidal volume in rat.

CONCLUSION: Brain ischemia/reperfusion leads to pulmonary capillary endothelial damage and the impairment of gas exchange in the alveolar-capillary barrier, which is exacerbated by mechanical ventilation with moderate tidal volume partially linked to inflammatory reactions.
