The document discusses direct and indirect lung injury. [1] Direct lung injury causes damage to the alveolar epithelium leading to alveolar fluid accumulation and pulmonary edema. [2] Indirect lung injury causes damage to the pulmonary capillary endothelium allowing fluid to enter the interstitial space and increase airway resistance. [3] This results in loss of cilia function in the airways making clearance of fluids ineffective and can cause atelectasis, shortness of breath, and alveolar collapse.
