Hemodynamic effects of partial liquid ventilation with perfluorocarbon in acute lung injury.

abstract：:An 18-month-old male infant presented with hypoglycemic coma and clinical signs of bronchopneumonia. He was suspected of suffering from septic shock. The patient progressed to irreversible multiple organ failure before the diagnosis of adrenal crisis was established. Plasma levels of ACTH and cortisol remained undetec...
