Conclusions
• In a human LPS model of ALI simvastatin reduces
pulmonary and systemic inflammation
• In patients with ALI simvastatin
– Improves pulmonary and non-pulmonary organ
dysfunction
– Well tolerated
– Reduces inflammation
• Study now needed to determine if simvastatin
improves clinical outcome in large clinical trials
