Journal ArticleDOI
The adult respiratory distress syndrome. Definition and prognosis.
TL;DR: The value of using this definition for establishing prognosis is described by discussing the basis for the acute lung injury scoring system, the various clinical disorders that may be associated with acute lungs injury and how they affect outcome, and the influence of nonpulmonary organ failure on the outcome of patients with acute lung injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in mechanical ventilation
TL;DR: Evidence now supports the use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in selected patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and for facilitating the discontinuation of ventilatory support in patients with chronic pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute lung injury and the coagulation pathway: potential role of gene polymorphisms in the protein C and fibrinolytic pathways
TL;DR: Well-designed studies that examine the association of polymorphisms in the genes encoding for proteins of the protein C and fibrinolysis pathways with susceptibility and severity of ALI and ARDS are needed to test the influence of both genetic and environmental factors on the clinical outcomes in patients with ALI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Death and Other Complications of Emergency Airway Management in Critically Ill Adults: A Prospective Investigation of 297 Tracheal Intubations
TL;DR: In this paper, complications of emergency airway management in critically ill adults, including the incidence of difficult and failed intubation; and the frequency of esophagea, were investigated.
