what is the current clinical syndrome definitino of ARDS?
acute onset
bilateral infiltrate
no HF
paO2/FiO2 <200
what are the radiologic findings is ARDS
cloudy patchy bilateral ans assymetric alveolar inflitrates
what pathologic changes occur in ARDS
diffuse alveolar damage
hyaline membranes (dead type II cells)
direct lunge injury causes leading to ARDS

3
pneumonia (worst)
asp of gastric acid
fat emoblism
indirect lung injury leading to ARDS
spesis
trauma with shock
acute pancreatitis
drug overdose!
causes of death in ARDS (2)
sepsis 50
resp. failure 25
what are the 4 phases of ARDS
1 exudative- develop hypoxemia
2 proliferative- lung comliance dec
3 fibrotic siffness worsens
4 recovery or death
exudative phase:
develop hypox, bilat lung infltrates, put on ventilaro, protein fluid fills aveolar space, neturos invade, type II pneumos dies- hyaline membrane; no more surfactan
proliferative phase:
lung compliance dec, mor stiff, no surfact, requires higher pressure to vent, macrophages activate, cytokine storm
fibrotic phase:
stiffness becomes worse, lung responds by mobilizing fibroblasts to repair damage, if fails, die
lung function of ARDS survivors:
they can get up to 80% back
treatment of ARDS:
treat underlying condition
what is the only successful treatment for ARDS?
low tidal volume ventilation (6-7 ml/kg)
often pts given cistracurium so they cant overide ventilatro
