    AbstractThe degree of perioperative lung injury that patients sustain results from a complex interaction between their current physiologic state, comorbidities, lifestyle choices, underlying surgical diagnosis, operative, and ultimately their cardiopulmonary interaction with a mechanical ventilator. This review addresses primarily the pathophysiology of perioperative lung injury with reference to ventilator-induced lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
