One is the development of arterial oxygen unsaturation (three of the mechanisms for oxygen unsaturation are venoarterial shunting, decreased diffusing capacity of the lung and relative alveolar ...

It has been extremely difficult to determine what proportion of the fluid recovered by lavage represents alveolar fluid from the distal airways and alveoli, so-called epithelial lining fluid (ELF).
