Mortality:
In Europe, the mortality rates ranged from
27-36.5%. In an Asian population it was
double that recorded in Europe (62%).In
Egypt it was 65-73%.

Pathogenesis of ARDS
(Ware &Matthay,2000)
Stages of ARDS
Acute, exudative phase
• Rapid onset of respiratory
failure after trigger
• Diffuse alveolar damage
with inflammatory cell
infiltration
• Hyaline membrane
formation
• Capillary injury
• Protein-rich edema fluid in
alveoli
• Disruption of alveolar
epithelium
Stages of ARDS
Subacute Proliferative
phase
• Persistent hypoxemia
• Development of
hypercarbia
• Fibrosing alveolitis
• Further decrease in
pulmonary compliance
• Pulmonary hypertension
Stages of ARDS
Chronic, Fibrotic
phase
• Obliteration of
alveolar and
bronchiolar spaces
and pulmonary
capillaries
• Deposition of excess
collagen and
extracellular
matrices and is
associated with
alveolar fibrosis
Laboratory Studies
To date no lab finding
pathognomonic of ARDS.
-ABG shows:
Early:
hypoxemia
respiratory alkalosis
Late:
respiratory acidosis
Laboratory Studies
• Leukocytosis,Leukopenia and anemia
are common.
• Inadequate Oxygenation(PaO2< 80
mmHg on FiO2 ≥ 0.6).
• High PEEP
• Adequate oxygenation
Precaution:
Most patients require heavy
sedation
Positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP)
• Increases trans-pulmonary
distending pressure
• Displaces edema fluid into
interstitium
• Decreases atelectasis
• Decrease right to left shunt
• Improves compliance
• Improves oxygenation
Positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP)
Hazards :
• Raise airway pressures
alveolar overinflation or
barotrauma
• Decrease venous return
depressing cardiac output (CO) and
oxygen delivery hypotension
• PEEP may cause intra-cardiac
shunting in patients with a
patent foramen ovale
Oxygenation:
∀ ↓ FiO2 < 50% if possible.
• O2 is a toxic medicine ( produce
oxygen radicals which is harmful
• It can be calculated according to

Positioning
Positioning
“PRONING”
1-Improved gas exchange
2-More uniform alveolar ventilation
3-Recruitment of atelectasis in dorsal
regions
4-Improved postural drainage.
5-Redistribution of perfusion away from
edematous, dependent regions.
Positioning
“PRONING”
HOW?
– Spine instability
– Hemo-dynamic instability
– Arrhythmias
– Thoracic and abdominal surgeries
– Increased intracranial pressure
Positioning
“PRONING”
Complications:
- Extubation
- ETT obstruction
- Dislodging CVCs
- Hemo-dynamic instability
- Facial edema
- Pressure sores
Alternative Therapies
for ARDS
Partial liquid ventilation PLV:
•PDE-I
•Inhibit neutrophil chemostaxis and
activation.
•Lisophylline inhibit release of FF
from cell memb. under oxidative
stress
•TNF : IL-1 ; IL-6
•No evidence suggestive of any
benefit.
Selective Pulmonary
Vasodilators
Nitric oxide:
1-Improves Oxygenation.
