Adult respiratory distress syndrome--I. Aetiology and mechanisms.
Introduction The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents a final common pathway of injury due to a large variety of massive, often unrelated, insults to the lung (Table 1). For example, the injury may be a consequence of direct pulmonary damage such as aspiration ofgastric contents or pulmonary contusion or the result of a systemic process such as sepsis or cardiopulmonary bypass....
متن کاملAcute (Adult) Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common and devastating condition which can affect all adult patients eg, medical, surgical and obstetric patients. It occurs when non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (secondary to acute damage to the alveoli) leads to acute respiratory failure. Although the terms ARDS and ALI are used interchangeably, the American-European Consensus Conference Commit...

متن کاملThe adult respiratory distress syndrome.
The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents a common denominator of acute lung injury leading to alveolar flooding, decreased lung compliance, and altered gas transport. In the absence of specific etiology and therapy, the management of ARDS remains largely supportive. Ubiquitous use of intermittent positive-pressure ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improve...
متن کاملAdult respiratory distress syndrome: diagnosis and management.
ARDS yearly afflicts more than 150,000 people, many of whom are young and otherwise healthy and yet the mortality rate remains in excess of 60% to 70%. This high mortality has not yielded to the significant gains made in intensive care patient management and rapid advances in technology. Acute lung injury research in the past 15 to 20 years has greatly enhanced our understanding of the pathophy...
