In the lungs, the Laplace pressure, Delta P= 2 gamma/R, would be higher in smaller alveoli than larger alveoli unless the surface tension,gamma decreases with alveolar interfacial area,A, such that2 epsilon>gamma in which epsilon=A(d gamma/dA) is the dilatational modulus. In Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), lipase activity due to the immune response to an underlying trauma or disease causes single chain lysolipid concentrations to increase in the alveolar fluidsviahydrolysis of double-chain phospholpids in bacterial, viral, and normal cell membranes. Increasing lysolipid concentrations decrease the dilatational modulus dramatically at breathing frequencies if the soluble lysolipid has sufficient time to diffuse off the interface, causing 2 epsilon 0, which may explain the benefits ARDS patients receive from high frequency oscillatory ventilation.
