The 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--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 کاملSequelae of the adult respiratory distress syndrome
The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterised by hypoxaemia, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates due to increased permeability, pulmonary oedema and, in most but not all instances, reduced lung compliance. The yearly incidence of ARDS is approximately six per 100 000. ARDS may occur in response to various direct or indirect insults to the lung. Gastric aspiration, bacterial or pne...
