Ventilator-associated lung injury is an acute lung injury that develops during mechanical ventilation and is termed ventilator-induced lung injury if it can be proven that the mechanical ventilation caused the acute lung injury. In contrast, ventilator-associated lung injury exists if the cause cannot be proven. VALI is the appropriate term in most situations because it is virtually impossible to prove what actually caused the lung injury in the hospital.
