Abstract
During the past several decades, clinical investigators world-wide have continued to study the causes, pathophysiology, and treatment strategies for acute lung injury (ALI). This syndrome, which is characterized by nonhydrostatic pulmonary edema and hypoxemia associated with a variety of etiologies, is slowly becoming better understood as a result of these efforts.
