The effect of endotracheal administration of N-acetyl cysteine and heparin on the level of secretion and partial thromboplastin time in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients under mechanical ventilation: A randomized clinical trial study
Abstract:Background and aims: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) treatment is supportive, and there is no currently approved treatment for it. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the effect of endotracheal administration of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and heparin on the level of secretion and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) in ARDS patients under mechanical ventilation.
