Adult respiratory distress syndrome in Leptospira canicola infection.
A man was admitted to the Johannesburg Hospital with a history of fever, diarrhoea, and dry cough for four days. He began to produce bloodstained sputum and was found to have severe arterial hypoxaemia. Radiography showed widespread opacification over both lung fields, and the clinical and haemodynamic features were consistent with the adult respiratory distress syndrome. Serology for Leptospir...
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 کاملSurfactant Function in Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome*
W e have reported previously on abnormalities of human surf actant in a lung from a patient with the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following trauma and shock.’ The lung with ARDS was compared to three normal lungs obtained from transplant donors. An abnormal static pressure-volume curve indicated reduced compliance and abnormally high surfactant film compressibility was found, but ...
