Comparison of two fluid-management strategies in acute lung injury

Article Abstract:

A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted to investigate the risks and benefits of a fluid-management protocol with a lower or higher intravascular pressure in patients with acute lung injury. It was found that use of a conservative fluid-management protocol with a lower central venous pressure or pulmonary-artery occlusion pressure target resulted in a major reduction in net fluid balance without an increase in adverse events.

The calling

Article Abstract:

A professor of medicine describes his experience in learning from books such as 'Of Human Bondage', which led him to know that grand outward pronouncements of passion were not as significant as quiet inner convictions. He feels that a good novel could offer a formative experience to prospective doctors that are both broader and deeper than identification with an admirable or sympathetic hero.
