Term
ARDS
Definition
common deadly problem results from anything that severely injures the type I pneumocytes and capillary endothelium lining the lungs
Term
what % ICU admissions get ARDS
Definition
10%
Term
what is the mortality rate of ARDS
Definition
30-40%
Term
ARDS etiology: 7
Definition
1. systemic process(sepsis, shock)
2. pulmonary infection
3. aspiration
4. inhaled toxins
5. traumatic pulmonary contusions
6. narcotics overdose
7. immunogenic (lupus)
Term
definition of ARDS:
Definition
acute onset of infiltrates on CXR
PaO2/FiO2 = <200mmHg
noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
condition originates from a direct insult in injury to the alveolar capillary membrane with fluid accumulation within the airspaces of the lung
Term
first 7 days of ARDS =
Definition
exudative; early alveolar edema & leukocytic infiltration of lungs with formation of hyaline membranes
Term
proliferative phase of ARDS =
Definition
day7-day21; interstitial inflammation, early fibrotic changes
Type II pneumocytes, fibroblasts, mypfibroblasts proliferate
Term
fibrotic phase of ARDS:
Definition
3-4wks after initial pulmoary injury; remodeling, fibrosis and bullae formation
Term
as ARDS progresses _________________ develops
Definition
fibroproliferation develops
Term
initially in ARDS pCO2 is ___ or ______ associated with increased ___________.
Definition
PaCO2 is low or normal assoc w increaed ventilation
Term
what happens with the pulmonary blood pressure in ARDS
Definition
pulmonary HTN
Term
Hypoxia in the lungs leads to:
Definition
shunting
Term
in ARDS is there increased or decreased lung ocmpliance?
Definition
DECREASED
Term
what % of the lung is participating in gas exchange with ARDS?
Definition
25%
Term
clinical manifestations of ARDS:
Definition
tachypnea, diffuse crackles, NO sign of volume overload
Term
ABG in ARDS shows:
Definition
hypoxemia, resp alkilosis in early phase, and resp acidosis in progression
Term
ARDS CXR shows:
Definition
White out
Term
what presents very similar to ARDS?
Definition
pulmoary emboli
Term
ARDS Tx:
Definition
Tx underlying disease
O2
correct acidosis
antibiotics
brochodilator
heparin
Term
2 main things for ARDS Tx
Definition
treat the underlying cause
& respiratory support
Term
complications of ARDS Tx
Definition
ventilator induced lung injury; too much pressure in lungs leads to capillary collapse.
