Objective: Both short- and long-term outcome studies in acute lung injury (ALI) performed thus far were conducted before the implementation of recent advances in mechanical ventilation and supportive care and/or in the context of clinical trials with restricted inclusion criteria. We sought to determine the outcome of consecutive acute lung injury patients after the implementation of these interventions.
