Summary

The primary hypothesis was that early aspirin administration will decrease the rate of developing acute lung injury during the first 7 days after presentation to the hospital.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult patients (age > 18) admitted to the hospital through the emergency department (ED)
  • At high risk of developing acute lung injury (ALI) Lung Injury Prediction Score (LIPS) greater than or equal to 4

Exclusion Criteria

  • Anti-platelet therapy on admission or within 7 days prior to admission
  • Presented to outside hospital ED > 12 hrs before arrival at site's facility
  • Inability to obtain consent within 12 hours of hospital presentation
  • Admitted for elective surgery
  • Acute lung injury prior to randomization
  • Receiving mechanical ventilation through a tracheostomy tube prior to current hospital admission (patient who is ventilator dependent)
  • Presence of bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on admission if he or she has a history of bilateral pulmonary infiltrates (as evidenced by previous x-rays) that can reasonably explain the current degree of pulmonary infiltrates present.
  • Presentation due to pure heart failure and no other known risk factors for ALI.
  • Allergy to aspirin or non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
  • Bleeding disorder
  • Suspected active bleeding or judged to be at high risk for bleeding
  • Active peptic ulcer disease (within past 6 months)
  • Severe chronic liver disease
  • Inability to administer the study drug
  • Expected hospital stay 48 hours
  • Previously enrolled in this trial
  • Enrolled in a concomitant intervention trial
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
