Increased hyaluronic acid production in lung—a possible important factor in interstitial and alveolar edema during general anesthesia and in adult respiratory distress …
J Modig, R Hällgren - Resuscitation, 1989 - Elsevier
The tremendous swelling potential of hyaluronic acid (HA) is well established, however, the
possible role of HA for interstitial and alveolar edema of the lung during general anesthesia
and in adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has not received attention.
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was therefore performed on 28 apparently lung-healthy
patients; first 24 h prior to induction of general anesthesia and then—in the same lung
segment—approximately 30 min after anesthesia induction with endotracheal intubation and …
