“…This microfilter has been evaluated in 1976 [6] and has shown good to very good flow rates and very good microfiltra tion. Our results are similar; this filter seems to be one of the very recommendable ones in the group of microfilters tested.…”

“…With 'routine' trans fusions in man up to about half of the recip ient's blood volume, either no manifestations [8,9] or at the most subclinical signs [1] of pulmonary dysfunction due to microag gregates have been detected. In the range of 'massive' transfusion, defined as the equiv alent of > one recipient blood volume, two publications emanating from the same study [5,6] gave suggestive, but still equiv ocal evidence for a protective effect of mi crofilters with pore sizes of < 40 (xm. From other studies [2,4] it was concluded that further factors associated with massive trans fusions, i.e.…”

“…Particulate debris was reported in the lungs of some heavily transfused casualties who died [4], but other larger studies did not report such findings [5]. Simmons et al [6] found a signif icant correlation between transfusion and hypox emia on the second postoperative day in a study on 225 combat casualties. In a smaller subsequent study, McNamara et al [7] found a significant cor relation between the transfusion of over ten units of blood and hypoxemia on the first 2 postoperative days.…”

“…Twenty-two (64%) were due to brain injury; two (6%) to hepatorenal failure; three (9%6) to septic shock, one (3%) to cardiac failure, and another to exsanguination (3%). As emphasized by Moore,26 the Types of Injury in Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation Head Injury. Brain swelling, the characteristic final common pathway to death following head injury, is potentiated by hypoxia and hypercarbia.…”

During a one year period, 78 patients at the Denver General Hospital required mechanical ventilation following inury. Thirteen patients were judged to have Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Of these, 9 had classic early onset RDS but, with intravenous fluid restriction following resuscitation, diuretics and careful mechanical ventilation, all recovered. Six patients, all of whom were septic, developed late onset RDS 5 or more days after injury; 5 died. Disparity between early and late onset RDS is emphasized; the one with good, the other with dismal prognosis. The current need is to improve treatment of late onset RDS, which frequently is associated with bacterial infection.pOST-TRAUMATIC respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) came into explosive prominence during management of combat casualties in the Vietnam War. 13.18.22,25-27 Since then an enormous volume of literature has evolved concerning its pathogenesis, recognition and care.4'6'8 Main emphasis has remained, as during the War, on development of respiratory failure in the immediate post-injury period associating the syndrome with chest wall contusion,22 blast,21 multiple blood transfusions,10'19 fat embolism,2"2 aspiration,5 shock,9 cerebral hypoxia, and fluid and sodium overload.26 In a series of classic articles, Ashbaugh" 3"18'23 described the adult respiratory
