Drotrecogin Alpha (Activated) in Two Patients with the Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2006 Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is associated with rapid cardiopulmonary collapse from endothelial injury, resulting in massive capillary leak, shock and severe hypoxemic respiratory failure. To date, treatment remains supportive and includes mechanical ventilation, vasopressors and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, with mortality ...
