TL;DR: The association between the initial tidal volume and the development of acute lung injury suggests that ventilator-associated lung injury may be an important cause of this syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silver-coated endotracheal tubes and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia: the NASCENT randomized trial.
Marin H. Kollef,Bekele Afessa,Antonio Anzueto,Antonio Anzueto,Christopher Veremakis,Kim M. Kerr,Benjamin D. Margolis,Donald E. Craven,Donald E. Craven,Pamela R. Roberts,Pamela R. Roberts,Alejandro C. Arroliga,Alejandro C. Arroliga,Rolf D. Hubmayr,Marcos I. Restrepo,William R. Auger,Regina Schinner +16 more
TL;DR: Patients receiving a silver-coated endotracheal tube had a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of VAP and delayed time to VAP occurrence compared with those receiving a similar, uncoated tube.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfusion-related Acute Lung Injury in the Critically Ill: Prospective Nested Case-Control Study
Ognjen Gajic,Rimki Rana,Jeffrey L. Winters,Murat Yilmaz,Jose L. Mendez,Otis B. Rickman,Megan M. O’Byrne,Laura K. Evenson,Michael Malinchoc,Steven R. DeGoey,Bekele Afessa,Rolf D. Hubmayr,S. Breanndan Moore +12 more
TL;DR: Both patient and transfusion risk factors determine the probability of ALI after transfusion, and transfusion factors represent attractive targets for the prevention of ALi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Claire V. Murphy,Garrett E. Schramm,Joshua A. Doherty,Richard M. Reichley,Ognjen Gajic,Bekele Afessa,Scott T. Micek,Marin H. Kollef +7 more
TL;DR: Both early and late fluid management of septic shock complicated by ALI can influence patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fresh-Frozen Plasma and Platelet Transfusions Are Associated With Development of Acute Lung Injury in Critically Ill Medical Patients
Hasrat Khan,Jon Belsher,Murat Yilmaz,Bekele Afessa,Jeffrey L. Winters,S. Breanndan Moore,Rolf D. Hubmayr,Ognjen Gajic +7 more
TL;DR: Transfusion is associated with an increased risk of the development of ALI/ARDS in critically ill medical patients, and the risk is higher with transfusions of plasma-rich blood products, FFP, and platelets, than with RBCs.
