Effects of Fusu mixture (Wen-Shen-Qian-Yang Method) on sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sepsis is the most common etiology of acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Capillary leakage caused by lung endothelial injury is the central cause of ARDS. The results of research in modern medicine in reducing endothelial damage and restoring endothelial functions are limited. In the previous clinical observations, we found that the Fusu mixture not only improves the clinical symptoms but also reduces the leakage of pulmonary capillaries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of the Fusu mixture combined with Western medicine in the treatment of ARDS caused by sepsis and to explore the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine.

Methods

This is a prospective, single-center, randomized, singl
