High-molecular-weight hyaluronan--a possible new treatment for sepsis-induced lung injury: a preclinical study in mechanically ventilated rats.

abstract：:Recent interest in transfusion management of trauma patients has heightened expectation in the role of blood component therapy in improving patient outcome. Optimal transfusion support in supplementation with fibrinogen has not been defined by high-quality evidence. Current evidence comes mainly from case series and u...
