Predictors of Early Acute Lung Injury at a Combat Support Hospital: A Prospective Observational Study

Abstract: On the basis of this small, prospective, descriptive study of severely injured patients admitted to the ICU, we determined that the presence of pulmonary injury had the greatest impact on the incidence of early ALI. There was also an independent relationship between the amount of FFP transfused and the incidence of early ALI. Further studies are required to determine the effects of the development of early ALI from FFP transfusion on short- and long-term survival.

“…The hyperactivation of calpain-2 and the increased expression of PTP1B were noted in a number of human cancers (52), as well as in Type 2 diabetes (3,53). Interestingly, individuals with Type 2 diabetes appear to be protected against sepsis-induced ALI (54)(55)(56). We speculate that a component of this observed protection is perhaps mediated by the overexpression of PTP1B and increased cleavage by calpain-2, resulting in an abundance of cytosolic PTP1B that is free from Nox-4-mediated oxidation and inhibition.…”

“…Neutrophils infiltrate the inflamed site and generate superoxide anion (O 2 •− ) and associated reactive oxygen species (ROS) 2 , as well as secreting a myriad of proteolytic enzymes that can damage surrounding cells and cause an inflammatory response [3]. Many acute and chronic inflammatory lung diseases, including acute lung injury (ALI) [4], acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [5], and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [6], are characterized by neutrophil-dominated inflammation. Therefore, suppression of neutrophil activation by drugs seems to be a useful way to treat inflammatory lung diseases.…”

“…In the combat setting, PC is likely to result from the passage of projectiles through the parenchyma of the lungs [12,17,18]. The biological plausibility for the present study is that PC results in localized endothelial damage which is a potential source of coagulation disturbances following acute injury.…”
