Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic value of a lung protective ventilation strategy in acute lung injury.

TL;DR: The authors hypothesize that multisystem organ failure is the true cause of increased mortality from sepsis rather than the infection itself, and confirm the results of the NHLBI ARDSnet clinical trial, which reported that ventilation of acute lung injury patients with a tidal volume of 6 mL/kg of PBW reduced hospital mortality to 31%,.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higher plasma cystatin C is associated with mortality after acute respiratory distress syndrome: findings from a Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial (FACTT) substudy

TL;DR: Higher plasma levels of cystatin C on enrollment were strongly associated with mortality at 60 days in patients with ARDS with and without AKI identified by creatinine-based definitions, indicating a better biomarker of kidney function in patients without ARDS to identify patients with multiple organ failure at higher risk of death.
Journal ArticleDOI

The acute respiratory distress syndrome in 2013.

TL;DR: Therapy with lung-protective ventilation and fluid conservative protocol has improved outcomes, but several new trials are in progress to test several promising strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond fishing: the role of discovery proteomics in mechanistic lung research.

TL;DR: A variety of methods have been developed and refined for identifying proteins in complex biological samples, and access to these methodologies has become widespread.
