|
three stages of ARDS
|
exudative
proliferative organizing |
|
ARDS: What stage?
There is an initial injury involving all layers of the alveolar wall: epithelial, interstitial and endothelial. Edema fluid collects within the interstitium and the capillaries leak plasma proteins leading to formation of hyaline membranes. |
exudative
|
|
ARDS: what stage?
The type I pneumonocytes are replaced by type II. Fibroblasts proliferate within the edematous interstitium and fibrous tissue may be seen within 10-15 days. |
proliferative
|
|
ARDS: Wht stage?
More fibrous tissue is produced, alveolar spaces enlarge, and with time may form prominent cystic spaces (honeycomb lung). |
organizing
|
|

Describe the lungs. |
The lungs are small, stiff and fibrotic.
|
|
Chronic Interstitial and infiltrative disorders:

respiratory alkalosis
as a result of hyperventilation perhaps secondary to scarring & involvement of the stretch receptors. |
|

|
FEV1,/
FVC is often increased. |
|
