Summary
Alveolar fibrin daposltlon commonly occurs In the lungs of patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Bronchoalveolar lavage (SAL) from patients with ARDS, control patlants with Interstitial lung dlsaase (ILD), congaatlve heart failure, or exposure to hyperoxla, and normal healthy subjects was studied to determine whether local alteratlona In proeoagulant activity favor alveolar fibrin deposition In the lungs In ARDS. Procoagulant activity capabla of shortenlng the recalcification time of plasma deficient In either factor VII or factor VIII was observed
