Overdistension of alveoli and cyclic atelectasis (atelectotrauma) are the primary causes for alveolar<unk>  during positive pressure mechanical ventilation. Severe<unk>  to alveoli causes swelling of the tissues (edema) in the<unk> s, bleeding of the alveoli, loss of surfactant (decrease in<unk>  compliance) and complete alveoli collapse (biotrauma). High flow rates are associated with rheotrauma, high volumes with volutrauma and pressures with barotrauma. Collectively these may be converted into a single unit of mechanical power.
