Abstract
Inflammation is a critical component of the normal healing process. In the patient with extensive injury or infection, however, this same process may lead to organ dysfunction and failure as seen in adult respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure syndrome. In this article we review: (1) the evolution of current concepts of inflammation; (2) individual elements of the host response to inflammatory stimuli; and (3) current strategies for the prevention and treatment of adult respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure syndrome. From the Department of Surgery, University of Washington School of Medicine, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, WA.
