Lung injury

  • Chapter

Acute lung injury is a twentieth century disease. The successful resuscitation of the casualties of war provided medicine with an apparently new pulmonary condition that initially defied treatment. However, the description of acute respiratory distress in adults (ARDS) in 1967 as a clinicopathological syndrome with multiple triggers leading to common consequences paved the way for an explosion in clinical and scientific research.
