  30. 3/12 : 12-L ECG: MFAT, normal axis, non-specific ST-T wave changes

  31. Course in the ward

  32. Sinus tachycardia, normal axis, low voltage complexes, NSSTTWC

  33. Discussion

  34. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

  35. ARDS • Severe dyspnea of acute onset (< 2 weeks) • Hypoxemia • Diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrate on CXR • PaO2/FiO2 < 200 mmHg • No elevated left atrial pressure (PCWP <18 mm Hg) • Respiratory • Failure

  36. Causes

  37. Three Phases Recovery Exudative Proliferative Fibrotic 0 7 14 21 6 mos

  38. Diffuse alveolar and endothelial damage Increase pulmonary vascular permeability Atelectasis and increase work of breathing: Dyspnea Tachypnea Hypoxemia Microvascular occlusion, pulmonary hypertension, increase in dead space: Hypercapnia Alveolar edema PMN infiltration of lungs Hyaline membrane formation Inactivation of surfactant due to exudates Accumulation in dependent portions Atelectasis

  39. Proliferative Phase • Time of Lung repair • Layering of exudates • Lymphocytic infiltration • Type II pneumocytes reproduce surfactant

  40. Fibrotic Phase • Fibrosis • Emphysema like changes (bullae) • Vascular occlusion • Complications: • Pulmonary Hypertension • Pneumothorax • Increase in dead space

  41. Mechanical Ventilation • Augments the increase in work of breathing • But can aggravate lung injury via repeated Alveolar Overdistention and Recurrent Alveolar Collapse • Set MV at lower tidal volumes • 6 ml/kgBW( vs standard 12ml/kgBW) • Optimal PEEP for alveolar recruitment : • 12-15 cmHg • Target RR < 35 • ARDS net protocol: Low volume, High frequency ventilation

  42. Management • Manage Respiratory Acidosis • Fluid restriction and diuretic • to reduce left atrial filling pressure • Dry Lungs are Happy Lungs! • Steroids • anti-inflammatory  No role!

  43. Mortality • 41-65% • Mostly from non-pulmonary causes (Sepsis, organ failure) • Recovery of lung function within 6 months

  44. Acute Respiratory Failure

  45. Inability of the lung to meet the metabolic demands of the body • Dysfunction in lung’s main function: • Oxygenation • Carbon Dioxide elimination • PaO2 <60 mmHg • PaCO2 >50 mmHg • Develops 4-48 hours

  46. Signs • Tachypnea • Exaggerated use of accessory muscles • Intercostal, supraclavicular and subcostal retractions • Neuromuscular disease: signs of respiratory distress may not be obvious • CNS disease: bradypnea + shallow breathing
