PEDIA QUIZ Flashcards
It is an acute diffuse inflammatory lung injury diminish FRC
ARDS
What does ARDS MEAN?
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
It is an pulmonary inflammtion leading to severe hypoxemia and RF
ARDS
Confirmatory Value of ARDS
<300 PF ratio
Non induced RDS value
<264 SF ratio
CPAP level
<5 cmH2o
Acute onset of ARDS
within 72 hrs and 7 days
Gross appearance of ARDS
heavy,red beefy
PATHOLOGY OF ARDS
Instertitial and intraalveolar edema and hemorrhage
alveolar consolidation
Intralveolar hyaline membrane function
Pulmonary surfactant deficiency
Atelectasis
most common etiology of ARDS in children
lower respi tract infection
direct lung injuries
near drowning, pneumonia, inhalational injuries,aspiration of gastric contents
Indirect lung injuries
sepsis, trauma, pancreatitis, severe bleeding, fat embolism
3 PHASES OF ARDS
Exudative , profirative, fibrotic stage
begins when the inflammatory cascade is triggered by indirect and direct lung injury
exudative stage
also called the chronic or late phase, results in total lung remodelling
fibrotic stage
charcterized by proloferation of type ii pneumocytes and fibroblast
proliferative stage
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
tachypnea, coughing, dyspnea, cyanosis
It is designed in an attempt to create a noninvasive scoring system that would minimize the need for ABG sampling in children
Oxygen Saturation Index
Primary tool used to diagnose ARDS
Radiography
Rradograph show in ARDS pt
bilateral insterstitial and alveolar infiltrated without cardiomegaly
significant anemia less than ________ can compromise O2-carrying capacity
<10 g/dL
this results from lung inury that damages the alveolar capillary memebrane,imparng the ability to maintain lung fluid balance
ARDS
this stage is day 1-7 from the initial injury
exudative stage
this stage begins withon day 7 of illness
fibroproliferative stage
