Bronchoalveolar lavage and plasma Antithrombin and cytokines in inhalation and burn injury: a pilot study.

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: = 0.002. IL-6 plasma levels were higher in the inhalation + burn group compared to the inhalation group on admission, but both levels decreased by days 3-6. IL-6 BAL levels were elevated in both groups on days 1-2 and decreased by days 3-6. In the first six days of resuscitation, all plasma cytokines were increased in the two groups compared to controls. AT plasma and BAL levels were significantly reduced in both groups, contributing to the coagulopathy. Increased BAL TNF-α and IL-6 levels may have contributed to the pulmonary perturbations during the initial SIRS response in both groups.
