Only two supportive strategies have shown to improve survival in patients with ALI/ARDS, namely lung protective ventilation that reduces stretch of the lungs and a fluid conservative strategy [1, 2]. Unfortunately, molecular-based therapies aimed at improving the outcome of these patients have so far been unsuccessful.engbook part10.1007/978-3-642-35109-9_40restricted accessAparato respiratorioTratamiento médico
