Journal ArticleDOI

The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Pathogenesis and Treatment

TL;DR: There is no effective pharmacologic therapy, although cell-based therapy and other therapies currently being tested in clinical trials may provide novel treatments for ARDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar Fluid Clearance Is Impaired in the Majority of Patients with Acute Lung Injury and the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: In contrast to hydrostatic pulmonary edema, alveolar fluid clearance in patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome is impaired in the majority of patients, and maximal alveolars fluid clearance is associated with better clinical outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute traumatic coagulopathy: initiated by hypoperfusion: modulated through the protein C pathway?

TL;DR: Early traumatic coagulopathy occurs only in the presence of tissue hypoperfusion and appears to occur without significant consumption of coagulation factors, which is consistent with activated protein C activation and systemic anticoagulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 4, but not interleukin 5 or eosinophils, is required in a murine model of acute airway hyperreactivity.

TL;DR: These data implicate IL-4 generated during the period of lymphocyte priming with antigen in establishing the cascade of responses required to generate airway hyperractivity to inhaled antigen and suggest a role for IL-5 or eosinophils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary dead-space fraction as a risk factor for death in the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: Increased dead-space fraction is a feature of the early phase of the acute respiratory distress syndrome and Elevated values are associated with an increased risk of death.
