Biology and pathology of fibroproliferation following the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: A biomarker study identified and validated a threshold level for bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) concentration of the N-terminal of procollagen peptide III (NT-PCP-III) that correlates with histopathologic fibrosis confirmed on open lung biopsy, in a subgroup of patients with ARDS who could potentially benefit from therapies that mitigate fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary mechanics and gas exchange characteristics in uncommon etiologies of acute respiratory distress syndrome

TL;DR: Within a diverse cohort having less common presentations of ARDS, there was apparent variability in the distribution of CRS, VD/VT compared to differences oxygenation dysfunction, and salient trends were apparent particularly in CRS and Vd/VT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Right-heart catheterization is a diagnostic procedure not a therapeutic intervention.

TL;DR: Results of these studies suggest, at least superficially, that bedside RHC and hemodynamic monitoring is associated with higher mortality in critically ill patients, and that this increased mortality is causally and directly related to RHC.
