 acute respiratory distress syndrone | what does ards stand for |
| ards | represents the clinical consequence of another syndrome known as acute lung injury in which there is such severe hypoxia that the PaO2/FIO2 ratio is 200 mmhg or less |
| 10-15% | percent of all ICU patients who meet the critereia for ARDS |
| multi systym organ failure | this usually accompanies ARDS |
| 35-40% | typical mortality rate for ARDS |
| sepsis severe trauma sultiple transfusion aspiration near drowning severe pneumonia burns inhalation of noxious fumes fat embolism amniotic fluid embolism air embolism eclampsia poisening radiation | most common clinical problems associated with ARDS are |
| lung mechanics, gas exchange, pulmonary vasculture of both lungs | what 3 things does ARDS affect |
| intravesecular fluid leaks from capillaries overwhelms lympathic drainage and floods the bronchioles, thus diluting surfactant | what happens in the most severe cases |
| hypoxemia, microemboli, and capillary compression | what 3 things increase pulmonary vasculare resistance |
| respiratory deterioration accompianed with dyspnea increased WOB tachypnea, tachycardia, and cough rapid and shallow breathing due to decrease in lung compliance bilateral inspiratory crackles chest x ray reveals bilateral fluffy infiltrates and air bronchograms | clinical features of ARDS |
| uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with moderate to severe hypoxemia and an increased PaO2 and PAO2 | what do ABGs show |
| supportive therapy | the treatment of ards is primarily |
| antibiotics for sepsis and pneumonia mechanical ventilation hemodynamic monitoring and support | the three treatments of ards |
| administration of reliable FIO2 decrease work of breathing can recruit atelectatic lung units | benefits of mechancial ventilation in ards |
