The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Objectives • Identify the 5 criteria for the diagnosis of ARDS. • Discuss the common etiologies that lead to ARDS. • Describe the priorities in the management of patients with ARDS.
The 6 P's of ARDS Management diffuse lung injury resulting in noncardiogenic pulmonary edema due to increase in capillary permeability
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • refractory hypoxemia • diminished compliance • diffuse infiltrates on chest x-ray • normal PAOP • PaO2 / FiO2 ratio < 200
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Etiology • shock • trauma • infections • inhaled toxins
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Etiology • aspiration • near-drowning • massive blood transfusions • fat or amniotic fluid emboli • pancreatitis
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Phase I & II • subclinical respiratory distress • ABGs (respiratory alkalosis) • hyperventilating
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Phase III • established respiratory distress • pulmonary shunt > 10% above baseline • chest x-ray shows infiltrates • crackles in lung bases
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Phase IV • severe respiratory failure • rising pCO2 • rising physiologic shunt • white-out on chest x-ray
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Diagnosis • history • signs/symptoms • labs (ABGs) • x-ray • hemodynamics
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Treatment • establish patent airway • restore arterial O2 level
The 6 P's of ARDS Management Add PEEP • Mechanical Ventilation • conventional with PEEP • PC / IRV • HFJV • APRV
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Goals of mechanical ventilation in ARDS are to: • maintain oxygenation • avoiding oxygen toxicity and the complications of mechanical ventilation
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • maintain oxygen saturation in the range of 85-90% • aim of reducing the fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) to less than 60% within the first 24-48 hours • usually requires the use of moderate-to-high levels of PEEP
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • experimental studies have shown that mechanical ventilation may promote a type of acute lung injury (ALI) termed ventilator-associated lung injury • protective ventilation strategies using low tidal volumes and limited plateau pressures improves survival when compared with conventional tidal volumes and pressures
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • ARDS Network study • patients with ALI and ARDS were randomized to mechanical ventilation • tidal volume of 12 mL/kg of predicted body weight and an inspiratory pressure of 50 cm water or less • tidal volume of 6 mL/kg and an inspiratory pressure of 30 cm water or less
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • the study was stopped early after interim analysis of 861 patients demonstrated that subjects in the low-tidal-volume group had a significantly lower mortality rate (31% versus 39.8%)
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • mechanical ventilation with a tidal volume of 6 mL/kg predicted body weight is recommended, with adjustment of the tidal volume to as low as 4 mL/kg if needed to limit the inspiratory plateau pressure to 30 cm water or less
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • increase the ventilator rate and administer bicarbonate as needed to maintain the pH at a near normal level (7.3)
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • High-frequency ventilation uses low tidal volumes and high respiratory rates. • diminishes alveolar distention • compared to conventional ventilation in adults demonstrates early improvement in oxygenation but no improvement in survival.
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Fluid Management • maintain adequate perfusion • isotonic solutions • fluid restriction • consider diuretics
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • primary ARDS due to aspiration, pneumonia, or inhalational injury treated with fluid restriction • secondary ARDS due to remote infection or inflammation requires initial fluid and potential vasoactive drug therapy • essential in directing initial treatments to stabilize the patient
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Improve systemic O2Delivery • modest volume expansion • vasopressors/vasodilators
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Sedation • control anxiety & physical activity • may require addition of neuromuscular blocker • suggestions: • propofol • versed
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Positioning • “good lung” in dependent position • both lungs are equally injured • beneficial positions include: • prone • right lung down
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • 60-75% of patients with ARDS have significantly improved oxygenation when turned from the supine to the prone position • improvement in oxygenation is rapid and often substantial enough to allow reductions in FiO2 or level of CPAP
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Possible mechanisms for improvement are: • recruitment of dependent lung zones • increased functional residual capacity (FRC) • improved diaphragmatic excursion • increased cardiac output • improved ventilation-perfusion matching
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • despite improved oxygenation with the prone position, randomized controlled trials of the prone position in ARDS have not demonstrated improved survival
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Pharmacologic Therapy • corticosteroids • antimicrobials • non - steroidal anti - inflammatory agents • anti – pyretic • “Star – Trek Meds”
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • No drug has proved beneficial in the prevention or management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Hemoglobin • 12 to 15 gm / dL • factors decreasing offloading: • hypophosphatemia • alkalosis • hypothermia
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Nutritional Support • often overlooked in ARDS • ingredients required: • stress amino acid • trace elements • omega 3 / omega 6 • Oxepa or Impact
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • patients who required mechanical ventilation within 48 hours of developing acute lung injury received either trophic or full enteral feeding for the first 6 days
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Initial lower-volume trophicenteral feeding did not improve • ventilator-free days • 60-day mortality • infectious complications • it was associated with less gastrointestinal intolerance
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • Other Therapeutics • nitric oxide • surfactant • ECMO • partial liquid ventilation
The 6 P's of ARDS Management Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) • Description • type of cardiopulmonary bypass • CO2 removal; O2 replacement • ventilated (lower VT, FiO2, & PEEP)
The 6 P's of ARDS Management Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) • Complications • technical difficulties • cannula malposition • hemorrhage • sepsis
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • ECMO appeared to improve survival in patients with H1N1-associated ARDS who could not be oxygenated with conventional mechanical ventilation
The 6 P's of ARDS Management • randomized controlled trial that compared partial liquid with conventional mechanical ventilation • partial liquid ventilation resulted in increased morbidity • pneumothoraces • hypotension • hypoxemic episodes • trend toward higher mortality
