Bellingan discussed potential mechanisms by which MultiStem may be providing benefit to ARDS patients, such as through restored endothelial integrity of the lung, reduced lung edema, increased alveolar fluid clearance, reduced immune cell infiltrate (including neutrophils, macrophages and eosinophils), and the ability to shift immune cells from a proinflammatory to anti-inflammatory phenotype.

Groeneveld, M.D., from Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and colleagues compared the incidence of ARDS after surgery during influenza seasons with the incidence of ARDS after surgery during seasons with few influenza cases in a retrospective cohort study involving patients who underwent cardiac surgery between January 2009 and January 2012.

The question here is how to manage the supportive treatment period in ARDS. For this aim, we have the possibility of increasing the Fi[O.sub.2] level by several methods (such as high flow nasal [O.sub.2], therapy 'HFNOT' and non-rebreathing masks) or the application of invasive/non-invasive MV for a period to allow time for curative treatments.
