Abstract:

Acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) is a life threatening condition with high mortality rates. It is characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma leading to impaired gas exchange with concomitant systemic release of inflammatory mediators causing protracted inflammation, increased vascular permeability, increased permeability of alveolar epithelial cells, extravasation of plasma and leucocyte infiltration, and frequently resulting in multiple organ failure. Since inflammation is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of ARDS, it is rational to explore modulating therapies for this inflammation, provided the adverse effect of such treatment is not excessive.

Keywords:

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), hypertonic saline, hypoxic index.
