It has been suggested that the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a manifestation
of a generalized vascular permeability defect. Low-level urinary albumin excretion reflects …

Toestablish whether a general dysfunction, Ie, an Increase In permeability, had occurred in
16 trauma patients (6 with adult respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS]), wemeasured fh …

Pulmonary dysfunction and permeability were prospectively studied in a group of severely
traumatized patients. Ventilatory parameters (ie, PaO 2/FiO 2, dynamic compliance, per cent …

Background Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in trauma victims carries a mortality
on the order of 50%. An early feature is an increased capillary permeability causing an …

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic value of plasma protein levels for pulmonary vascular
permeability and acute respiratory distress syndrome. During acute lung injury and acute …

Study objective: To establish the natural history of lung injury in adult respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS) in terms of increased pulmonary vascular permeability. Secondly, to …

We prospectively evaluated the patterns of pulmonary structural and functional changes in
100 consecutive surgical intensive care unit trauma patients who had (1) emergent major …

Objective: Robust markers of subclinical perioperative lung injury are lacking. Extravascular

We used a single-pass multiple tracer technique to measure cardiac output, extravascular
