ABSTRACT: Objectives
Identify the metabolites that are increased in the plasma of severely injured patients that developed ARDS versus severely injured patients that did not, and assay if these increased metabolites prime pulmonary sequestration of neutrophils (PMNs) and induce pulmonary sequestration in an animal model of ARDS. We hypothesize that metabolic derangement due to advanced shock in critically injured patients leads to the PMNs, which serves as the first event in the ARDS. Summary of Background Data: Intracellular metabolites accumulate in the plasma of severely injured patients.Methods
Untargeted metabolomics profiling of 67 critically injured patients was completed to establish a metabolic signature associated with ARDS development. Metabolites that significantly increa
