Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rapidly improving acute respiratory distress syndrome (RIARDS) is defined as normalization of oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2 >300 mmHg) within 24 h of invasive mechanical ventilation. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), a marker of endothelial dysfunction, may predict acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) outcomes, but its role in RIARDS is unclear. This study evaluated Ang-2 and other biomarkers for predicting...
