Serum levels of N–terminal proB–type natriuretic peptide in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients – relation to tidal volume size and development of acute respiratory distress syndrome
BACKGROUND: Serum levels of N–terminal proB–type natriuretic peptide (NT–proBNP) are elevated in patients acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Recent studies showed a lower incidence of acute cor pulmonale in ARDS patients ventilated with lower tidal volumes. Consequently, serum levels of NT–...
