SCCM Resource Library-The Fundamental Microbiomes in ARDS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the role of the microbiome in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). They explain that the human body contains more microbial cells than human cells, and these microbes can have a significant impact on our immune system and how we interact with pathogens. The speaker presents research showing that the presence of certain microbes in the lower airways is associated with worse outcomes in patients with ARDS. They also highlight the importance of studying the microbiome in this context and how it could potentially lead to the identification of novel targets for treatment.
