Chapter 294 - Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Flashcards
How many percent of all ICU admission involve patients with ARDS?
10%
Most common cause of ARDS
Pneumonia and Sepsis
40-60%
Most frequently reported surgical conditions in ARDS
pulmonary contusion
multiple bone fractures
chest wall trauma/flail chest
Trauma patients with an APACHE score of ≥16 has how much risk in developing ARDS
2.5 time increased risk
Phases of ARDS
Exudative
Proliferative
Fibrotic
Identify which phase:
alveolar capillary endothelial cells and type I pneumocytes are injured with consequent loss of a normally tight alveolar barrier
Exudative
Identify which phase:
interleukin 1, interleukin 8, TNF and Leukotriene B are increased leading to leukocyte recruitment
Exudative
Identify which phase:
Formation of hyaline membrane whorls
Exudative
Identify which phase:
Vascular obliteration by microthrombi and fibrocellular proliferation
Exudative
Identify which phase:
Reduction in arterial blood flow resulting to increased dead space and pulmonary hypertension
Exudative
Hypercapnia in early ARDS results from?
increased pulmonary dead space
Where does alveolar edema predominantly involve?
dependent portions of the lung
Exudative phase usually present within how many hours? and can be delayed by how many days?
present w/in 12-36h
delayed by 5-7 days
Duration of the proliferative phase
from day 7 to day 21
Identify which phase:
most patients recover and are liberated from mechanical ventilation
Proliferative
Identify which phase:
Some patients may develop early changes of pulmonary fibrosis
Proliferative
Identify which phase:
First sign of resolution histologically
Proliferative
Identify which phase:
Initiation of lung repair
Proliferative
Identify which phase:
organization of alveolar exudates
Proliferative
Identify which phase:
shift from neutrophil to lymphocyte predominant pulmonary infiltrates
Proliferative
Which type cells proliferate along the alveolar basement membranes during the proliferative phase?
Type II Pneumocytes
