Summary

This study looked at whether giving a gas called sevoflurane (used for sleep during surgery) for 48 hours can improve oxygen levels and reduce inflammation in people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung condition. Fifty adults with moderate to severe ARDS took part. The goal was to see if this gas helps the lungs work better and lowers harmful inflammation.
