New Delhi: Sepsis, a severe and often fatal complication of infection, is a leading cause of both acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Now, researchers report medical ozone therapy as a promising new treatment for sepsis-induced ALI.
This innovative approach could significantly improve survival rates and lung function in preclinical models, offering hope for patients with limited treatment options, according to the study from Nanjing Medical University in China.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a central role in the progression of sepsis, as they are involved in trapping pathogens but can also trigger excessive inflammation, exacerbating lung injury.
The complexity of sepsis-induced ALI, driven by the interplay among inflammation, immune…
