Early identification and diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of sepsis-related acute lung injury: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction, and the most common and vulnerable organ is the lungs, with sepsis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) increasing mortality. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have improved our understanding of sepsis-related ARDS in terms of epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, prognosis, and other aspects, as well as our ability to prevent, detect, and treat sepsis-related ARDS. However, sepsis-related lung injury remains an important issue and clinical burden. Therefore, a literature review was conducted on sepsis-related lung injury in order to further guide clinical practice in reducing the acute and chronic consequences of this condition.
