Journal ArticleDOI
Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Roy G. Brower,Michael A. Matthay,Alan H. Morris,David A. Schoenfeld,B. Taylor Thompson,Arthur P. Wheeler +5 more
TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume than is traditionally used results in decreased mortality and increases the number of days without ventilator use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of two fluid-management strategies in acute lung injury.
Herbert P. Wiedemann,Arthur P. Wheeler,Gordon R. Bernard,B. Taylor Thompson,Douglas Hayden,Ben deBoisblanc,Alfred F Connors,R. Duncan Hite,Andrea L. Harabin +8 more
TL;DR: A conservative strategy of fluid management using explicit protocols applied for seven days in 1000 patients with acute lung injury improved the chances of death at 60 days and the conservative strategy improved fluid balance during the first seven days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring sedation status over time in ICU patients: reliability and validity of the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS).
E. Wesley Ely,Brenda Truman,Ayumi Shintani,Jason W. W. Thomason,Arthur P. Wheeler,Sharon M. Gordon,Joseph Francis,Theodore Speroff,Shiva Gautam,Richard Margolin,Curtis N. Sessler,Robert S. Dittus,Gordon R. Bernard +12 more
TL;DR: This is the first sedation scale to be validated for its ability to detect changes in sedation status over consecutive days of ICU care, against constructs of level of consciousness and delirium, and correlated with the administered dose of sedative and analgesic medications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treating Patients with Severe Sepsis
TL;DR: The death rates in some subgroups of patients with sepsis-induced organ failure have decreased, even though there is no specific therapy for sepsi, and the reduced mortality may be .
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome: a clinical review
TL;DR: Refinements in ventilator and fluid management supported by data from prospective randomised trials have increased the methods available to effectively manage this disorder.
