- Title
Cancer patients with ARDS: survival gains and unanswered questions.
- Authors
Depuydt, Pieter; Soares, Marcio
- Abstract
The article focuses on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in cancer patients. Topics discussed include a paper by Azoulay and colleagues which showed that the initial enthusiasm to apply noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has matured, the long-term morbidity induced by ARDS, and the finding that ARDS is not a single disease, but rather a heterogeneous condition, and reversal or clearance of its trigger is as important as quality of organ support.
