Özet

Introduction: This experimental setting was undertaken to elucidate and confirm the role of inflammatory and oxidant-antioxidant mechanisms on blunt injury induced moderate pulmonary contusion (PC). We intended to determine the effects of dexamethasone (DXM), N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and aprotinin (APR) in terms of their ability to diminish the consequences of acute lung injury due to PC.
