  2. neuromuscular
  3. muscle failure
  4. airway obstruction
  5. chest wall deformity
26
Q

reasons for type III ARDS (using physiologic classification)

A
  1. increased atelectasis due to low functional residual capacity with abnormal abdominal wall mechanics
  2. hypoxemia or hypercapnoea
27
Q

prevention of type III ARDS (using physiologic classification)

A
Prevention: 
anaesthetic
operative technique
posture
incentive
spirometry
analgesia
attempt to lower intra-abdominal pressure
28
Q

how to optimise typre IV ARDS (using physiologic classification)

A

optimise ventilation to improve gas exchange and to unload the resp muscles, lowering their O2 consumption.

Ventilatory effects on right and left heart -> cause reduced afterload (good for LV), increased preload (bad for RV)

29
Q

risk factors for chronic respiratory failure (6)

A
  1. COPD
  2. pollution
  3. recurrent pneumonia
  4. cystic fibrosis
  5. pulmonary fibrosis
  6. neuro-muscular disease
30
Q

risk factors for acute respiratory failure (5)

A
  1. infection (viral, bacterial)
  2. aspiration
  3. trauma
  4. pancreatitis
  5. transfusion

35
Q

what is used to classify ARDS? (4)

A

PEEP
Compliance

(learn boundaries)

57
Q

what is given if you have a poor Murray score?

A

ECMO

58

referral system
consideration of referral

61

adv ECMO

A

improve oxygen delivery,
improve carbon dioxide removal,
rest lung and prevent ventilator associated lung injury,
resolve respiratory acidosis,
reduce multiple organ dysfunction arising from hypoxaemia and hypercarbia

A
Case selection,
not universally available/inequity of provision of care,
