Serial assessment of pulmonary microvascular permeability in a patient developing the adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Serial measurements of lung extravascular accumulation of 113mIndium-transferrin were made in a patient with acute respiratory failure during the development of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Abnormality of this index of pulmonary microvascular permeability antedated radiological change and appeared to predict the onset of frank ARDS.
