Treatment of ARDS With Sivelestat Sodium

Neutrophil elastase (NE) released by neutrophils play an important role in inflammatory cascade and lung tissue injury of ARDS.Inhibition of NE is expected to prevent the pathophysiological process of ARDS and alleviate lung injury. Siverestat sodium is a specific inhibitor of NE, which has been proved by basic and observational clinical studies to be effective in alleviating lung injury of ARDS, but there is a lack of prospective multi-center randomized controlled clinical trials.Therefore, this study was intended to evaluate the efficacy of sivelestat sodium in the treatment of ARDS patients with SIRS in a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial
