Open Access Abstract Introduction Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome MODS is a common complication of sepsis in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome but the links between mechanical ventilation and MODS are unclear. Our goal was to determine whether a minimally injurious mechanical ventilation strategy synergizes with low-dose endotoxemia to induce the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways in the lungs and in the systemic circulation resulting in distal organ dysfunction and or injury. Methods We administered intraperitoneal Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide LPS 1 pg g to C57BL 6 mice and 14 hours later .
