Comparative Study
[Hemodynamic differences do not exist in patients with adult respiratory syndrome with or without infection].
To verify whether patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), associated to sepsis or not, may be differentiated according to the values of the hemodynamic variables. ⋯ This study demonstrated that patients with the septic adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have the same hemodynamic changes as those observed in patients with ARDS without sepsis. This absence of differences may be explained by the presence of mechanisms common in sepsis and ARDS.
