Hemorrhagic shock due to major trauma predisposes to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Because lung fibrin deposition is one of the hallmarks of this syndrome, we hypothesized that resuscitated shock might predispose to the development of a net procoagulant state in the lung. A rodent model of shock/resuscitation followed by low-dose intratracheal lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a clinically relevant "two-hit" model, was used to test this hypothesis.

Background: The results of contemporary coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are excellent. However, recently changing trends in the population at risk have necessitated new measures to minimize perioperative morbidity and mortality.
Methods: We reviewed cardioplegic innovations developed, evaluated, and currently employed at the Toronto Hospital.
