This was met with a moderate increase of troponin T-hs (peak 115 ng/L), an escalating need for vasopressors (peak 0.6 mcg/kg/min), and a progressive decrease in her P/F ratio (nadir 8.37 kPa) despite preserved lung static compliance (48.2 +- 15.3 mL/cmH2O during the deterioration period) (Figure 1).
