Abbreviation: VALI
An acute lung<unk>  that is suspected to have developed during mechanical ventilation is termed<unk>  (VALI)
If it can be proven that the mechanical ventilation caused the acute lung<unk>  it is termed ventilator-induced lung<unk>  (VILI)
VALI is the appropriate term in most clinical situations because it is virtually impossible to prove causation outside of the research laboratory
1 in 4 mechanically ventilated patients will develop VALI for reasons other than acute lung<unk>  (ALI) or Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
VALI is alveolar<unk>  caused by overexpansion of alveoli (volutrauma), repeated alveolar collapse and expansion (RACE), and cyclic atelectasis
Eventually, in serve VALI/ARDS alveoli edema/bleeding and loss of surfactant can cause complete alveoli collapse
