集中治療室型装置による急性呼吸窮迫症候群の豚モデルにおけるハロゲン化剤の送達

Overview

This study presents a model of hydrochloric acid-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in piglets. The model utilizes halogenated agents for sedation, allowing for the investigation of lung injury mechanisms and potential therapies.

Key Study Components
