Abstract

Lung-damaging toxicants may be defined as chemicals that induce pathological changes in the lung following absorption [1, 2]. The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome which might be caused by direct damage to the respiratory cells at the alveolar level or indirectly through inflammation mediators in a severely exposed patient.

Grading System for Levels of Evidence Supporting Recommendations in Critical Care Toxicology, 2nd Edition

  1. I

    Evidence obtained from at least one properly randomized controlled trial.

  2. II-1

    Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization.

  3. II-2

    Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case–control analytic studies, preferably from more than one center or research group.

  4. II-3

    Evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention. Dramatic results in uncontrolled experiments (such as the results of the introduction of penicillin treatment in the 1940s) could also be regarded as this type of evidence.

  5. III

    Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies and case reports, or reports of expert committees.
