Neutropenic animals fail to develop capillary leak when confronted with, similar insults. Neutrophils are not only increased in number but also are in metabolically active state and produce proteases and oxygen metabolites that are toxic to the lung (Fantone and Ward, 1982). The complement system involvement in human ARDS was first recognized by Hammerschmidt et at (1980). Patients with the active syndrome had elevated levels of the clcvage product of the fifth component (C5-a) in plasma (Haynes et al, 1980). It summoned neutrophils to the pulmonary vascular bed and stimulated them to release many factors including oxygen free radicals, proteases, arachidonic acid metabolites and platelet activating factor (AGEPC). It appears that during sepsis, granulocytes become activated by bacteria and in their attempt to destroy bacteria release oxygen radicals and proteolytic enzymes that can severely damage the pulmonary endothelium and the pulmonary interstitium (Bernard, 1983). The proteases so released activated Hageman factor and its associated coagulation pathway. Platelet activating factor released from neutrophils causes platelet and neutrophil activation, smooth muscle constriction and increased vascular permeability. Coagulation product injury Saldeen (1976) demonstrated the presence of platelet-fibrin microemboli in the post-mortem sections of the lungs of patients of ARDS. The extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation cascades are activated by endotoxemia,, Hageman factor, collagen exposed due to damaged endothelium and released thromboplastin and proteases from degenerated leucocytes. The fibrin-degradation product, ‘D’ antigen is increased in ARDS. Since activation of intravascular coagulation causes complement activation, both fibrin entrapment and complement mediated leuco-aggregation may contribute to development of ARDS following pulmonary intravascular coagulation (Malik et al, 1982). Arachidonic acid metabolite injury Neutrophils, platelets and pulmonary endothelial cells are all potential manufacturers of arachidonic acid metaboliks. They cause vasoconstriction (prostaglandins E2, J J 2 and H2 and thromboxane A2), increase pulmonary vascular permeability (leukotrienes, C4, D4, and E4) and bronchoconstriciion. Certain metabolites of arachidonic acid have protective effects also. The prostaglandin 12 has a vasodilator, antiplatelet aggregating, membrane stabilizing and antineutrophil aggregating propert’es. Thus, a catastrophic clinical setting activated complement cascade or the coagulation pathway. This lead to leucostasis and leucocyte
