Neutrophil extracellular traps contribute to the pathogenesis of acid-aspiration-induced ALI/ARDS
Background Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a manifestation of systemic inflammation in the lungs, but the factors that trigger inflammation in ALI/ARDS are unclear. We hypothesized that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to the pathogenesis of acid aspiration-induced ALI/ARDS. Results Analysis of bronchial aspirates from ARDS patients showed t...
متن کاملIntravenous vitamin C as adjunctive therapy for enterovirus/rhinovirus induced acute respiratory distress syndrome
We report a case of virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) treated with parenteral vitamin C in a patient testing positive for enterovirus/rhinovirus on viral screening. This report outlines the first use of high dose intravenous vitamin C as an interventional therapy for ARDS, resulting from enterovirus/rhinovirus respiratory infection. From very significant preclinical resea...
متن کاملValidity of Spo2/Fio2 Ratio in Detection of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Introduction: One ofdiagnostic criteria for Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is pao2/fio2 (PF) ratio 300 for ALI or 200 for ARDS. This criteria requires invasive arterial sampling. Measurement of Spo2/Fio2 (SF) ratio by pulseoximetry may be a reliable non invasive alternative to the PF ratio. Methods and Materials: In a cross sectional study we enrolled 105 sample o...
متن کاملAlveolar antioxidant status in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
In the acutely inflamed lung, oxidant stress occurs within the alveolar compartment. Under these conditions, the regulation of low molecular weight antioxidants in the epithelial lining fluid is poorly understood. Therefore, antioxidant levels were measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS; n=40) and in healthy volunteers (n=2...
متن کاملAcid aspiration increases sensitivity to increased ambient oxygen concentrations.
Previously we have demonstrated that prolonged exposure to 100% ambient oxygen leads to a marked loss in functional lung volume and lung compliance, hypoxemia, and surfactant system abnormalities similar to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, 50% oxygen administration is believed to be safe in most clinical settings. In the present study, we have evaluated the effects of a 24-h...
