Combination of hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone benefits patients with septic shock Sepsis occurs in approximately 1.7 million hospitalizations in the U.S. with in more than a third of hospitalizations resulting in death.

Hi all. ARDS Foundation is helping to recruit former Acute Lung Failure survivors and family members of those patients for APPLE, a study that stands for Approaches to Performance of PICU Liberation Elements.

The study is looking for stakeholders who are survivors of acute lung injury, who are currently 40 years or under who were hospitalized when they were minors (or their caregiver of such a patient--the caregivers can be any age) and on the vent for 2 days or more.

The study hopes to be a five year study and plans to meet via webinar meetings two days a year. There will be some kind of incentive offered for those who participate, but I am not sure what that will entail.

If this is something that you would be interested it participating in, please email me at [email protected].

Thank you for your consideration. Eileen
