A high positive end-expiratory pressure, low tidal volume ventilatory strategy improves outcome in persistent acute respiratory distress syndrome: a randomized, controlled trial.
TL;DR: A mechanical ventilation strategy with a PEEP level set on day 1 above Pflex and a low tidal volume compared with a strategy withA higher tidal volume and relatively low PEEP has a beneficial impact on outcome in patients with severe and persistent ARDS.

Postinjury multiple organ failure: a bimodal phenomenon.
Frederick A. Moore,Angela Sauaia,Ernest E. Moore,James B. Haenel,Jon M. Burch,Dennis C. Lezotte +5 more
TL;DR: Postinjury MOF remains a significant challenge and appears to present in at least two patterns, early versus late, which may facilitate the development of new strategies for the prevention and treatment of morbid syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of patients with acute lung injury. Predictors of mortality.
TL;DR: If selection of patients using the new criteria for acute lung injury results in a significant change in the clinical characteristics, risk factors, or predictors of mortality when compared with prior studies of patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome, and to determine if a quantitative index of the severity of lung injury has prognostic value in identifying nonsurvivors of acute Lung injury.

TL;DR: These findings support previous estimates in Europe and are an order of magnitude lower than those reported in the USA and Australia.

An early PEEP/FIO2 trial identifies different degrees of lung injury in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Jesús Villar,Lina Pérez-Méndez,José Enrique Ema López,Javier Belda,Jesús María Blanco,Iñaki Saralegui,Fernando Suarez-Sipmann,Julia López,Santiago Lubillo,Robert M. Kacmarek +9 more
TL;DR: A systematic method of assessing severity of lung injury is required for enrollment of patients with ARDS into randomized controlled trials and patients meeting current American-European Consensus Conference ARDS criteria may have highly variable levels of lung injuries and outcomes.

ASSESSMENT OF COMA AND IMPAIRED CONSCIOUSNESS: A Practical Scale
Graham M. Teasdale,Bryan Jennett +1 more
TL;DR: A clinical scale has been evolved for assessing the depth and duration of impaired consciousness and coma that facilitates consultations between general and special units in cases of recent brain damage, and is useful also in defining the duration of prolonged coma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some Methods for Strengthening the Common χ 2 Tests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss two kinds of failure to make the best use of x2 tests which I have observed from time to time in reading reports of biological research, and propose a number of methods for strengthening or supplementing the most common uses of the ordinary x2 test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of mortality in patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome.
TL;DR: It is indicated that sepsis syndrome, rather than respiratory failure, is the leading cause of death in patients with ARDS.

Multiple-Organ-Failure Syndrome
TL;DR: The panelists for the discussion were C. James Carrico, MD, from Seattle; Jonathan Meakins, DSc, FRCSC, FACS, from Montreal; Donald Fry,MD, from Cleveland; and Ronald V. Maier, MD from Seattle, who all had experience of multiple-organ-failure syndrome.

Adult respiratory distress syndrome: risk with common predispositions.
Alpha A. Fowler,Richard F. Hamman,James T. Good,Kim N. Benson,Michael D. Baird,Donald J. Eberle,Thomas L. Petty,Thomas M. Hyers +7 more
TL;DR: A 1-year survey of patients in three hospitals identified 936 patients who had one predisposition and 57 who had several predispositions to the adult respiratory distress syndrome, and 68 subsequently developed the syndrome.
