The study was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of various medical procedures in the treatment of acute lung injury (ALL) and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in different categories of surgical patients. The study was carried out at the intensive care unit, Academician N. N. Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital. The findings demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed procedures that are justified in each specific case and that reduce the length of stay in an intensive care unit and total mortality. Three independent studies were conducted in 75 surgical patients diagnosed as having ALL/ARDS in accordance with the traditional criteria. The use of one or another procedure in the groups was defined as an etiological factor for a group. The findings indicate that the proposed procedures are effective, but have side effects and, accordingly, cannot be recommended as the gold standard. According to the performed study, treatment policy should be chosen on an individual basis, pathogenetically justified, in terms of effectiveness and safety.
