BACKGROUNDThe ABO histo-blood group is defined by carbohydrate modifications and is associated with risk for multiple diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that genetically determined blood subtype A1 is associated with increased risk of ARDS and markers of microvascular dysfunction and coagulation.METHODSWe conducted analyses in 3 cohorts of critically ill trauma and sepsis patients (n = 3710) genotyped on genome-wide platforms to determine the association of the A1 blood type genotype with ARDS risk. We subsequently determined whether associations were present in FUT2-defined nonsecretors who lack ABO antigens on epithelium, but not endothelium. In a patient subgroup, we determined the associations of blood type with plasma levels of endothelial glycoproteins and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Lastly, we tested whether blood type A was associated with less donor lung injury recovery during human ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP).RESULTSThe A1 genotype was associated with a higher risk of moderate to severe ARDS relative to type O in all 3 populations. In sepsis, this relationship was strongest in nonpulmonary infections. The association persisted in nonsecretors, suggesting a vascular mechanism. The A1 genotype was also associated with higher DIC risk as well as concentrations of thrombomodulin and von Willebrand factor, which in turn were associated with ARDS risk. Blood type A was also associated with less lung injury recovery during EVLP.CONCLUSIONWe identified a replicable association between ABO blood type A1 and risk of ARDS among the critically ill, possibly mediated through microvascular dysfunction and coagulation.FUNDINGNIH HL122075, HL125723, HL137006, HL137915, DK097307, HL115354, HL101779, and the University of Pennsylvania McCabe Fund Fellowship Award. 相似文献

Purpose
The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of extravascular lung water (EVLW) to intrathoracic blood volume, global end-diastolic volume, or pulmonary blood volume ratios as a reflection of pulmonary permeability in nonseptic critically ill patients with or at risk for acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS).Methods
Pulmonary permeability was measured by the pulmonary leak index (PLI) for 67gallium-labeled transferrin and EVLW and blood volumes by the transpulmonary indicator dilution technique in 20 mechanically ventilated patients, before and after fluid loading, guided by changes in central venous pressure.Results
Nine (45%) patients had ALI/ARDS according to current criteria. The PLI was high (≥30.0 × 10−3/min) in 25% before and 30% after fluid loading. The EVLW was high (≥10 mL/kg) in 10% before and in none after fluid loading and did not increase with fluid loading, whereas blood volumes increased. Before fluid loading, PLI related to EVLW/blood volume ratios (minimum r = 0.48, P = .032). After fluid loading, PLI related to EVLW to pulmonary blood volume or intrathoracic blood volume ratios (minimum r = 0.46, P = .041). The relations were unaffected by fluid loading and pressure forces.Conclusions
The EVLW/blood volume ratios are determined, at least in part, by moderately increased pulmonary permeability in nonseptic critically ill patients with or at risk for ALI/ARDS, independent of fluid status and pressure forces. Normal ratios may help to exclude high permeability. 相似文献3.

Purpose
Angiopoietin 2 (Ang2) and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) are markers of endothelial and pulmonary epithelial damage with prognostic implications in adult acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but unclear significance in pediatric ARDS (PARDS).Methods
This was a prospective, observational study in children with PARDS (2012 Berlin and 2015 PALICC definitions) at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Plasma was collected within 48 h of PARDS onset and biomarkers quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
In 82 children with PARDS (12 deaths, 15 %), Ang2 and sRAGE were higher in non-survivors than survivors (p < 0.01 for both). Mortality was highest in patients with Ang2 and sRAGE levels both above median values. Ang2 and sRAGE correlated with the number of non-pulmonary organ failures (both p < 0.001). Ang2 was higher in indirect lung injury and in immunocompromised children. In stratified analysis, both Ang2 and sRAGE were associated with mortality only in direct lung injury and in immunocompetent children, with no association evident in indirect lung injury or in immunocompromised children.Conclusions
Ang2 and sRAGE in early PARDS were higher in non-survivors than survivors and strongly correlated with number of non-pulmonary organ failures. When stratified by type of lung injury, Ang2 and sRAGE were associated with mortality only in direct lung injury. Similarly, when stratified by immunocompromised status, Ang2 and sRAGE were associated with mortality only in immunocompetent children. The utility of these biomarkers for prognostication and risk stratification requires investigation.4.
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are life-threatening disorders that have substantial adverse effects on outcomes in critically ill patients. ALI/ARDS develops in response to pulmonary or extrapulmonary injury and is characterized by increased leakage from the pulmonary microvasculature and excessive infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells into the lung. Currently, no therapeutic strategies are available to control these fundamental pathophysiological processes in human ALI/ARDS. In a variety of animal models and experimental settings, the purine nucleoside adenosine has been demonstrated to regulate both endothelial barrier integrity and polymorphonuclear cell trafficking in the lung. Adenosine exerts its effects through four G-protein-coupled receptors (A1, A2A, A2B, and A3) that are expressed on leukocytes and nonhematopoietic cells, including endothelial and epithelial cells. Each type of adenosine receptor (AR) is characterized by a unique pharmacological and physiological profile. The development of selective AR agonists and antagonists, as well as the generation of gene-deficient mice, has contributed to a growing understanding of the cellular and molecular processes that are critically involved in the development of ALI/ARDS. Adenosine-dependent pathways are involved in both protective and proinflammatory effects, highlighting the need for a detailed characterization of the distinct pathways. This review summarizes current experimental observations on the role of adenosine signaling in the development of acute lung injury and illustrates that adenosine and ARs are promising targets that may be exploited in the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. 相似文献

Objective Septic shock is characterised by a decrease in systemic vascular resistance. Nevertheless, regional increases in vascular resistance can occur which may predispose to organ dysfunction, including the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Because endothelial damage is a major feature of acute lung injury, we examined whether the potent endothelial vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 plays a pathophysiological role in sepsis of ARDS.Design Plasma endothelin was measured in mixed venous, pulmonary capillary and arterial blood, and the relationship with outcome measures was determined.Setting The intensive care unit of a university teaching hospital.Patients and participants A consecutive series of well-characterised patients with sepsis syndrome, both with (n=11) and without (n=15) ARDS, and ventilated controls without sepsis or ARDS (n=7).Measurements and results Plasma endothelin was significantly elevated in patients with sepsis alone and in patients with sepsis and ARDS. Plasma endothelin did not differ among mixed venous, pulmonary capillary and systemic arterial blood. On multiple regression analysis, plasma endothelin correlated positively with organ failure score and with oxygen consumption, and negatively with the PaO2FiO2 ratio. There was no correlation with plasma creatinine, suggesting that decreased renal clearance did not account for the high plasma endothelin concentrations.Conclusions Although the lung does not appear to be the major site of endothelin production in critically ill patients with sepsis, increased endothelin production may contribute to regional increases in vacular resistance, hypoperfusion, and the development of organ failure, including ARDS, in patients with sepsis. 相似文献

In the present issue of Critical Care, Frank and Matthay review the physiologic mechanisms that lead to ventilator-induced lung injury. Our greater understanding of basic physiologic principles has already had a major impact on the treatment of critically ill patients. Novel strategies to limit ventilator-induced lung injury have now been shown to improve survival. However, there has been debate in the literature regarding the safety and efficacy of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Network study protocol in reducing ventilator-induced lung injury. The issues surrounding the ARDS Network protocol and a recent meta-analysis criticizing its use are presented. As clinicians, we now have the responsibility to ensure that our patients benefit from these recent developments. 相似文献

Activation of the contact system of plasma proteolysis in the adult respiratory distress syndrome 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a complex pulmonary clinicopathologic condition associated with pulmonary endothelial injury and blood coagulation activation. In patients with ARDS from all causes, factor VII levels were significantly reduced. Patients with ARDS caused by sepsis had more evidence of intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis than did patients with trauma-related ARDS by having significantly (p less than or equal to 0.05) increased prothrombin times, activated partial thromboplastin times, and fibrin degradation products, and decreased antithrombin III concentration. We sought to determine whether the proteins of the contact system of plasma proteolysis (factor XII, prekallikrein, high molecular weight kininogen, and C1 inhibitor) were also activated after acute lung injury. Patients with ARDS caused by either trauma or sepsis had significantly (p less than or equal to 0.01) reduced factor XII levels, high molecular weight kininogen functional activity, prekallikrein activity, and prekallikrein antigen levels compared with controls. In both the sepsis-related and trauma-related ARDS groups, C1 inhibitor activity was significantly reduced but C1 inhibitor antigen levels were significantly elevated from control. These findings showed that the proteins of the contact system were more extensively activated in ARDS than were the proteins that contribute to later reactions in intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis. Activation of the contact system proteins could be the result of endothelial injury occurring as part of ARDS. Intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with ARDS also arise from components independent from contact system activation. 相似文献

Background
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the development of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, which has been related to the bioactivity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors and coreceptors regulate this bioactivity. We hypothesized VEGF receptors 1 and 2 (VEGFR1, VEGFR2) and coreceptor neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) would be expressed in human lung tissue with a significant change in expression in ARDS lung.Methods
Archival “normal” (no lung pathology and non-ARDS), “early” (within 48 hours), and “later” (after day 7) ARDS lung-tissue sections (n = 5) were immunostained for VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and NRP-1 from human subjects (n = 4). Staining was assessed densitometrically using Histometrix software.Results
VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and NRP-1 were expressed on both sides of the alveolar-capillary membrane in both normal and ARDS human lung tissue. In later ARDS, there was a significant up-regulation of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 versus normal and early ARDS (P < .0001). Neuropilin-1 was down-regulated in early ARDS versus normal lung (P < .05), with normalization in later ARDS (P < .001).Conclusion
Differential temporal VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and NRP-1 up-regulation occurs in human ARDS, providing evidence of further functional regulation of VEGF bioactivity via VEGFR2 consistent with a protective role for VEGF in lung injury recovery. The mechanisms behind these observations remain to be clarified. 相似文献9.
Circulating angiopoietin 2 correlates with mortality in a surgical population with acute lung injury/adult respiratory distress syndrome 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Gallagher DC Parikh SM Balonov K Miller A Gautam S Talmor D Sukhatme VP 《Shock (Augusta, Ga.)》2008,29(6):656-661
There are few blood biomarkers predictive of mortality in adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and none that currently serve as therapeutic targets. Here, we ask whether a circulating protein angiopoietin 2 (Ang2) correlates with severity of lung injury and mortality in a surgical intensive care unit cohort with acute lung injury (ALI)/ARDS. Tie 2 is a tyrosine kinase receptor expressed on endothelial cells. One ligand, angiopoietin 1, phosphorylates Tie 2 and stabilizes adult vasculature. An alternate ligand, Ang2, serves as a context-dependent antagonist and disrupts barrier function. Previously, our laboratory detected high circulating Ang2 levels in septic patients and a correlation with low Pa(O2)/F(IO2). In this study, daily plasma was collected in 63 surgical intensive care unit patients. Eighteen patients met clinical criteria for ALI or ARDS. The median Ang2 at admission in patients who never developed ALI/ARDS was 3.7 ng/mL (interquartile range [IQR], 5.6; n = 45). The Ang2 on the day a patient met criteria for ALI/ARDS was 5.3 ng/mL (IQR, 6.7) for survivors (n = 11) and 19.8 ng/mL (IQR, 19.2) for nonsurvivors (n = 7; P= 0.004). To explore the mechanism of high Ang 2 leading to increased permeability, plasma from patients with ALI was applied to cultured lung endothelial cells and found to disrupt normal junctional architecture. This effect can be rescued with the Tie 2 agonist angiopoietin 1. A patient's convalescent (low Ang2) plasma did not disrupt junctional architecture. Although further studies with larger sample sizes will be needed to confirm these results, high Ang2 in critically ill patients with ALI/ARDS is associated with a poor outcome. These data, coupled with our cell culture experiments, suggest that antagonism of Ang2 may provide a future novel therapeutic target for ARDS. 相似文献

Extravascular lung water in patients with severe sepsis: a prospective cohort study 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Introduction
Few investigations have prospectively examined extravascular lung water (EVLW) in patients with severe sepsis. We sought to determine whether EVLW may contribute to lung injury in these patients by quantifying the relationship of EVLW to parameters of lung injury, to determine the effects of chronic alcohol abuse on EVLW, and to determine whether EVLW may be a useful tool in the diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods
The present prospective cohort study was conducted in consecutive patients with severe sepsis from a medical intensive care unit in an urban university teaching hospital. In each patient, transpulmonary thermodilution was used to measure cardiovascular hemodynamics and EVLW for 7 days via an arterial catheter placed within 72 hours of meeting criteria for severe sepsis.Results
A total of 29 patients were studied. Twenty-five of the 29 patients (86%) were mechanically ventilated, 15 of the 29 patients (52%) developed ARDS, and overall 28-day mortality was 41%. Eight out of 14 patients (57%) with non-ARDS severe sepsis had high EVLW with significantly greater hypoxemia than did those patient with low EVLW (mean arterial oxygen tension/fractional inspired oxygen ratio 230.7 ± 36.1 mmHg versus 341.2 ± 92.8 mmHg; P < 0.001). Four out of 15 patients with severe sepsis with ARDS maintained a low EVLW and had better 28-day survival than did ARDS patients with high EVLW (100% versus 36%; P = 0.03). ARDS patients with a history of chronic alcohol abuse had greater EVLW than did nonalcoholic patients (19.9 ml/kg versus 8.7 ml/kg; P < 0.0001). The arterial oxygen tension/fractional inspired oxygen ratio, lung injury score, and chest radiograph scores correlated with EVLW (r2 = 0.27, r2 = 0.18, and r2 = 0.28, respectively; all P < 0.0001).Conclusions
More than half of the patients with severe sepsis but without ARDS had increased EVLW, possibly representing subclinical lung injury. Chronic alcohol abuse was associated with increased EVLW, whereas lower EVLW was associated with survival. EVLW correlated moderately with the severity of lung injury but did not account for all respiratory derangements. EVLW may improve both risk stratification and management of patients with severe sepsis. 相似文献11.

IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether common variants across the nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NFE2L2) gene contribute to the development of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with severe sepsis. NFE2L2 is involved in the response to oxidative stress, and it has been shown to be associated with the development of ARDS in trauma patients.MethodsWe performed a case–control study of 321 patients fulfilling international criteria for severe sepsis and ARDS who were admitted to a Spanish network of post-surgical and critical care units, as well as 871 population-based controls. Six tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NFE2L2 were genotyped, and, after further imputation of additional 34 SNPs, association testing with ARDS susceptibility was conducted using logistic regression analysis.ResultsAfter multiple testing adjustments, our analysis revealed 10 non-coding SNPs in tight linkage disequilibrium (0.75 ≤ r2 ≤ 1) that were associated with ARDS susceptibility as a single association signal. One of those SNPs (rs672961) was previously associated with trauma-induced ARDS and modified the promoter activity of the NFE2L2 gene, showing an odds ratio of 1.93 per T allele (95 % confidence interval, 1.17–3.18; p = 0.0089).ConclusionsOur findings support the involvement of NFE2L2 gene variants in ARDS susceptibility and reinforce further exploration of the role of oxidant stress response as a risk factor for ARDS in critically ill patients. 相似文献

Objective
The objective of the study is to determine the 28-day mortality of critically ill cancer patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Design
This is a retrospective cohort study of patients enrolled in the ARDS Network randomized controlled trials.Results
A total of 2515 patients did not have cancer, and 116 patients had cancer. Patients with cancer were older (median, 61 vs 49 years; P < .0001), more critically ill (the median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III score without cancer comorbidity was 105 for the cancer group compared with 87 for those without cancer; P < 0.0001), and more likely to have pneumonia or sepsis as cause of acute lung injury (79.31% vs 62.70%; P = .0011). The overall mortality at day 28 was 25.7%. Patients with cancer had significantly higher mortality (55.2%) compared with those without cancer (24.3%) (P < .0001). The odds ratio for mortality from ARDS at 28 days for cancer patients was 2.54 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.570-4.120). Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III score and age were found to be significant predictors of outcome in cancer patients with odds ratio of 1.034 (95% CI, 1.007-1.062; P = .0135) and 1.075 (95% CI, 1.024-1.129, P = .0036), respectively.Conclusions
Cancer patients with ARDS have a significantly higher risk of death compared with those without cancer. The increased risk appeared to be mediated by increased severity of illness at presentation, as well as by age. 相似文献13.

In patients who develop adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), leukopenia may precede the clinical expression of lung injury. In order to determine if this finding is associated with neutrophil margination in the lung, we calculated neutrophil flux across the lung in eight patients who developed ARDS, 18 patients who were at risk but did not develop ARDS, and in eight control patients who had respiratory failure due to congestive heart failure or atelectasis. Neutrophil flux was calculated by multiplying cardiac output by the difference in neutrophil concentration between mixed venous and arterial blood. A positive value indicated margination and a negative value indicated demargination of neutrophils in the lung. Measurements were averaged during the 24-hour period of lowest PaO2/FiO2 in each patient. Margination of neutrophils was more frequent in patients who developed ARDS, whereas demargination of neutrophils was more frequent in patients who did not develop ARDS. In the patients who developed ARDS and who had margination of neutrophils, this phenomenon occurred 14.4 ± 9.1 (x ± SD) hours before the diagnosis of ARDS. The sensitivity and specificity of margination of neutrophils in the lung as a test for ARDS were 87% and 78%, respectively. Margination of neutrophils in the lung is one cause of leukopenia in ARDS and may be a useful discriminator of ARDS in patients at risk. 相似文献

Multiple systems organ failure adversely affects outcome in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, no clinical studies of the influence of preexisting single extrapulmonary organ dysfunction on the incidence and resolution of ARDS have been reported. Hepatic reticuloendothelial system (RES) and hepatic parenchymal cell uptake and detoxification of proinflammatory substances are major elements of systemic host defense and may, accordingly, be important pulmonary defense mechanisms. To better define the effects of liver-lung interactions on the resolution of acute lung injury with preexisting extreme hepatic dysfunction, we retrospectively analyzed the incidence, risk factors, and clinical characteristics of ARDS in 29 patients with end-stage liver failure (ESLF) who required intensive care while awaiting a liver transplantation. We compared data from these patients with those from a concurrent group of 44 intensive care patients without ESLF, and contrasted our findings with recent clinical studies of ARDS predisposition and outcome. ARDS occurred in 23 of 29 patients (79%) with ESLF; sepsis was the most common predisposing risk factor (18 of 29 patients, 62%). ARDS developed in 3 of 44 patients (6.8%) without ESLF (odds ratio comparison with ESLF patients, 42.9, P < .001). Once initiated, regardless of etiology and subsequent ventilatory support, ARDS was uniformly irreversible in all 23 ESLF patients. These findings identify a growing population of critically ill patients at increased risk for nonresolving severe acute lung injury despite current methods of intensive care. We conclude that compromise of systemic and pulmonary defense by impaired hepatic RES performance and hepatocyte function may both predispose to ARDS and critically modulate its resolution. 相似文献

The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is associated with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which requires ventilation in critically ill patients. The pathophysiology of ARDS results from acute inflammation within the alveolar space and prevention of normal gas exchange. The increase in proinflammatory cytokines within the lung leads to recruitment of leukocytes, further propagating the local inflammatory response. A consistent finding in ARDS is the deposition of fibrin in the air spaces and lung parenchyma. COVID‐19 patients show elevated D‐dimers and fibrinogen. Fibrin deposits are found in the lungs of patients due to the dysregulation of the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems. Tissue factor (TF) is exposed on damaged alveolar endothelial cells and on the surface of leukocytes promoting fibrin deposition, while significantly elevated levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI‐1) from lung epithelium and endothelial cells create a hypofibrinolytic state. Prophylaxis treatment of COVID‐19 patients with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is important to limit coagulopathy. However, to degrade pre‐existing fibrin in the lung it is essential to promote local fibrinolysis. In this review, we discuss the repurposing of fibrinolytic drugs, namely tissue‐type plasminogen activator (tPA), to treat COVID‐19 associated ARDS. tPA is an approved intravenous thrombolytic treatment, and the nebulizer form has been shown to be effective in plastic bronchitis and is currently in Phase II clinical trial. Nebulizer plasminogen activators may provide a targeted approach in COVID‐19 patients to degrade fibrin and improving oxygenation in critically ill patients. 相似文献

Purpose
Cell therapy may become an option for lung injury treatment. However, no data are available on the alveolar presence and time course of CD4+ CD25 + Foxp3 + T-regulatory lymphocyte cells (Tregs) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Accordingly, we (1) measured the ratio of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Tregs to all (CD4+) lymphocytes in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of ARDS patients and of control subjects without lung disease and (2) assessed their impact on 30-day mortality.Methods
In a prospective study, the ratios of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + T-regulatory cells to all CD4+ cells were measured (FACS) within 24 h of the patients’ ICU referral in the BAL and in the blood of 47 patients with ARDS (32 males, 15 females; mean age 44 years ±13) as well as in 8 controls undergoing elective abdominal surgery (5 men, 3 women; mean age 49 years ±4). BAL concentrations of several cytokines were also measured in ARDS patients.Results
Tregs were detected in the BAL of control subjects and ARDS patients. However, the mean ratio of Tregs to all CD4+ lymphocytes was threefold greater in ARDS non-survivors (16.5 %; p = 0.025) and almost twofold greater in ARDS survivors (9.0 %; p = 0.015) compared to controls (5.9 %). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed the ratio of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + T-regulatory lymphocytes to all CD4+ lymphocytes in the BAL to be an important and independent prognostic factor for 30-day survival (HR 6.5; 95 % CI, 1.7–25; p = 0.006).Conclusion
An increased T-regulatory cell ratio in the admission BAL of patients with ARDS is an important and independent risk factor for 30-day mortality. 相似文献18.

Introduction
Recent cohort studies have identified the use of large tidal volumes as a major risk factor for development of lung injury in mechanically ventilated patients without acute lung injury (ALI). We compared the effect of conventional with lower tidal volumes on pulmonary inflammation and development of lung injury in critically ill patients without ALI at the onset of mechanical ventilation.Methods
We performed a randomized controlled nonblinded preventive trial comparing mechanical ventilation with tidal volumes of 10 ml versus 6 ml per kilogram of predicted body weight in critically ill patients without ALI at the onset of mechanical ventilation. The primary end point was cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and plasma during mechanical ventilation. The secondary end point was the development of lung injury, as determined by consensus criteria for ALI, duration of mechanical ventilation, and mortality.Results
One hundred fifty patients (74 conventional versus 76 lower tidal volume) were enrolled and analyzed. No differences were observed in lavage fluid cytokine levels at baseline between the randomization groups. Plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels decreased significantly more strongly in the lower-tidal-volume group ((from 51 (20 to 182) ng/ml to 11 (5 to 20) ng/ml versus 50 (21 to 122) ng/ml to 21 (20 to 77) ng/ml; P = 0.01)). The trial was stopped prematurely for safety reasons because the development of lung injury was higher in the conventional tidal-volume group as compared with the lower tidal-volume group (13.5% versus 2.6%; P = 0.01). Univariate analysis showed statistical relations between baseline lung-injury score, randomization group, level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), the number of transfused blood products, the presence of a risk factor for ALI, and baseline IL-6 lavage fluid levels and the development of lung injury. Multivariate analysis revealed the randomization group and the level of PEEP as independent predictors of the development of lung injury.Conclusions
Mechanical ventilation with conventional tidal volumes is associated with sustained cytokine production, as measured in plasma. Our data suggest that mechanical ventilation with conventional tidal volumes contributes to the development of lung injury in patients without ALI at the onset of mechanical ventilation.Trial registration

Objective: To determine the time to onset of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with thermal injury requiring mechanical ventilation. Secondarily, to consider the burn-related risk factors, demographics, incidence, and mortality for ARDS in this population.¶Design: Retrospective chart review; ARDS defined according to the American-European Consensus Conference and the Lung Injury Severity Score definitions.¶Setting: Regional, tertiary referral, adult burn unit in a university teaching hospital.¶Patients and participants: Patients with thermal injury requiring mechanical ventilation, admitted between 1 January 1991 and 28 February 1995.¶Interventions: None.¶Measurements and results: Of 469 consecutive admissions, 126 (26.9 %) received intubation and mechanical ventilation. ARDS was defined according to the American-European Consensus and Lung Injury Severity Score (score > 2.5) definitions. The mean time to onset of ARDS from admission to the burn unit was 6.9 ± 5.2 and 8.2 ± 10.7 days when defined by the American-European Consensus and Lung Injury Severity Score definitions respectively (p = 0.41). Of the intubated patients, 53.6 and 45.2 % developed ARDS according to the American-European Consensus and Lung Injury Severity Score definitions, respectively (p = 0.19). Using multivariate logistic analysis, only age proved to be an independent risk factor for the development of ARDS (p = 0.03), although there was a trend toward an increased incidence of inhalation injury in patients with ARDS. Mortality was not significantly greater (41.8 vs 32.2 %) in those with ARDS compared to those without (p = 0.27).¶Conclusions: According to the American-European Consensus Conference and the Lung Injury Severity Score definitions, ARDS is common in the adult burn population and has a delayed onset compared to most critical care populations.
