Pulmonary mechanics and gas exchange characteristics in uncommon etiologies of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Conclusions: Within a diverse cohort having less common presentations of ARDS, there was apparent variability in the distribution of CRS, VD/VT compared to differences oxygenation dysfunction. Elevated pulmonary dead space still identified patients with higher mortality, as is the case with more common causes of ARDS.
