Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of ARDS

TL;DR: Standard supportive care for ALI/ARDS should now include a protective ventilatory strategy with low tidal volume ventilation by the protocol developed by the National Institutes of Health ARDS Network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated plasma levels of soluble TNF receptors are associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with acute lung injury

TL;DR: Plasma levels of soluble TNF receptor I and II can serve as biomarkers for morbidity and mortality in patients with ALI and LTVV is associated with a specific decrease in sTNFRI levels, which suggests that one beneficial effect of LTVv may be to attenuate alveolar epithelial injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical trials in acute respiratory distress syndrome: challenges and opportunities

TL;DR: This Review focuses on future opportunities to improve clinical trial design to maximise the likelihood of identifying beneficial pharmacological therapies for acute respiratory distress syndrome and presents promising new approaches to treating ARDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar epithelium: role in lung fluid balance and acute lung injury.

TL;DR: There is some experimental and clinical evidence that cAMP stimulation could accelerate the resolution of pulmonary edema in the presence of acute lung injury, and clinical trials are needed to test this potential therapeutic strategy in patients with acute lungs injury.
