Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar epithelial fluid transport capacity in reperfusion lung injury after lung transplantation.

TL;DR: This study provides the first direct evidence that increased permeability to protein is the usual cause of reperfusion edema after lung transplantation, with longer ischemic times associated with greater permeable to protein in the transplanted lung.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive fluid balance is associated with higher mortality and prolonged mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients with acute lung injury.

TL;DR: Positive fluid balance was associated with a significant increase in both mortality and prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, independent of the presence of multiple organ system failure and the extent of oxygenation defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pancreatitis-Associated Acute Lung Injury: New Insights

TL;DR: Clinical studies, including the original descriptions published 30 years ago, as well as the recent experimental findings that have used either pharmacologic blockade or genetically modified animals are reviewed to provide new understanding of the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pulmonary physician in critical care • 5: Acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome: definitions and epidemiology

TL;DR: An understanding of the epidemiology of ALI/ARDS and the effects of treatment have been hampered by the lack of a uniform definition of the syndrome, and various definitions have been proposed.
