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 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...
متن کاملSequelae of the adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Most survivors of ARDS have persistent mild reductions of TLCO even as long as a year after their episode. The lung volumes and flows return to normal in most instances, although a subset of patients will have persistent impairment. Both obstructive and restrictive deficits may be seen. This group may be predicted by the degree of acute lung injury assessed by the level of FIO2, PEEP, and gas e...
