Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is among the most common causes of respiratory failure in critically ill patients. Despite extensive research, ARDS remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with no effective pharmacological treatment options. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BM-MSCs) compared with Dexamethasone (Dex) and Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) against acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats.

Respiratory alkalosis is common during mechanical ventilation. The hyperventilation syndrome may be disabling.
