Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome

Mackay A et al. – Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common condition that is associated with a high mortality. Correct diagnosis of ALI is important because other causes of hypoxaemia may be more easily treated. Management includes standard ICU supportive care and a tidal volume limited to 6 ml kg^–1. A conservative fluid management strategy might have some benefits.
