Validity of Spo2/Fio2 Ratio in Detection of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Introduction:  One ofdiagnostic criteria for Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is  pao2/fio2 (PF) ratio 300 for ALI or 200 for ARDS. This criteria requires invasive arterial sampling. Measurement of Spo2/Fio2 (SF) ratio by pulseoximetry may be a reliable non invasive alternative to the PF ratio.   Methods and Materials: In a cross sectional study we enrolled 105 sample o...

Lung protective ventilation strategy for the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

BACKGROUND Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury require mechanical ventilatory support. Acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury are further complicated by ventilator-induced lung injury. Lung protective ventilation strategies may lead to improved survival. This systematic review is an update of a Cochrane review originally published in 2003 a...

Effective Factors of INSURE Method Failure in Treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants

Background INtubate-SURfactant-Extubate (INSURE) method is one of the effective methods in treatment of infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). This study was performed to predict risk factors for the failure of  INSURE method in treatment of RDS in preterm infants. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 192 infants who born between July 2011 and April 2016 at women and...

Recruitment manoeuvres in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome/acute lung injury is characterised by profound hypoxaemia due to a permeability pulmonary oedema. In this setting, recruitment manoeuvres (RMs) can be a useful tool as adjuncts to lung protective ventilatory strategies to prevent cyclic alveolar stress and avoid alveolar collapse. Many experimental and physiological studies have discussed the use of RMs but o...
