Gestational Age Influences the Early Microarchitectural Changes in Response to Mechanical Ventilation in the Preterm Lamb Lung

Background: Preterm birth is associated with abnormal lung architecture, and a reduction in pulmonary function related to the degree of prematurity. A thorough understanding of the impact of gestational age on lung microarchitecture requires reproducible quantitative analysis of lung structure abnor...
