Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Patients With Acute Severe Respiratory Failure

Summary

Although the advent of advanced medical support for respiratory failure, the mortality rate of acute severe respiratory failure is still high and the life quality is frequently compromised from pulmonary fibrosis. The investigators hypothesize that the treatment using mesenchymal stem cell can be beneficial in patients with respiratory failure. The present study is a pilot study evaluating the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cell treatment in patients with respiratory failure.
