摘要

In the 1969 American western film Support Your Local Sheriff, the calm and competent traveler Jason McCullough becomes sheriff of Calendar, Colorado. Supported by a few citizens, he keeps the resident bandits and killers under control and tames the lawless Old West frontier town with a diversity of intelligent and efficient methods.At around the same time, in 1967, the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) made its debut, and it still remains one of the feared killers on intensive care units today. Pneumonia is the most prevalent cause of ARDS, but it may also be precipitated by sepsis due to nonpulmonary infections, aspiration of gastric contents, major trauma, acute pancreatitis, transfusions, or drug reactions.
