B4-058 Acute Lung Injury and ARDS Flashcards
abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid in lung parenchyma
pulmonary edema
intra-alveolar and interstitial accumulation of fluid and congestion of alveolar capillaries
pulmonary edema
pulmonary edema
- left-sided heart failure leads to increased pulmonary venous pressure
- protein poor transudate
cardiogenic pulmonary edema
CXR
- Kerley B lines
- butterfly/batwing sign
- cardiomegaly
cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- hemosiderin- laden macrophages accumulate in alveoli
- deposition of hemosiderin in interstitium
- microhemorrhages
chronic cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- damage to alveolar epithelium and endothelium increased vascular permeability
- protein-rich exudate
pulmonary edema due to alveolar wall injury
direct causes of pulmonary edema due to alveolar wall injury
4
- infection
- aspiration
- inhalation
- radiation
indirect causes of pulmonary edema due to alveolar wall injury
3
- SIRS
- drugs/toxin
- transfusion reaction
if diffuse, this injury may cause ARDS
pulmonary edema due to alveolar wall injury
- impaired gas exchange
- reduction in lung compliance
pulmonary edema
- edema fluid within interstitium and alveoli
- capillary congestion
- hemosiderosis in chronic CHF
pulmonary edema
- rapid onset of life threatening respiratory insufficiency
- severe progress hypoxemia
- bilateral opacities on CXR
- exclusion of cardiogenic pulmonary edema
ARDS
CXR
bilateral opacities
ARDS
causes of ARDS
6
- pneumonia
- sepsis
- aspiration
- trauma
- pancreatitis
- transfusion rx
the alveolar-capillary membrane is compromised by epithelial and endothelial injury
ARDS
acute and organizing diffuse alveolar damage
ARDS
what stage of ARDS
- edema
- hyaline membranes
- impaired gas exchange
acute
