An alveolar rapture refers to a situation where the alveolus raptures as a result of increased trans alveolar pressure with less pressure in the adjacent intestinal space. The rapture is dangerous because the amount of pulmonary congestion or obstruction that prevents the expansion of the lung is immeasurable, thereby leaving no criteria for safe pressures.
