[Post-traumatic alveolar changes in lung contusion].
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens taken from nine patients with lung contusion following multiple trauma were compared with specimens from different control groups. Early interstitial and intra-alveolar reactions are PMN degranulation, mediator release and high protein leakage. The alveolar reactions are similar in extent to the reaction found in post-traumatic ARDS.
