The lungs were fixed and removed to be subsequently scanned using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Images were analyzed using a semi-quantitative approach, scoring ten random alveoli for wall discontinuities and hemorrhage, and five small pulmonary vessels for microthrombosis. Computer-assisted morphometric evaluations were performed to quantify loss of lung aeration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The standard oxygen therapy group showed higher frequencies of alveolar wall discontinuities, alveolar hemorrhage, and microthrombosis, compared to the MV group (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
