Excerpt

In this study we investigated the long-term effects of a combined therapy with recombinant human antithrombin (rhAT), heparin (hep) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in our established model of acute lung injury, resulting from burn and smoke inhalation injury (BSII). We hypothesised that this triple therapy decreases the requirement of ventilation, reduces ventilation days and improves survival. …
