Inclusion Criteria for ARDS net

Bilateral infiltrates consistent with pulmonary edema
No clinical evidence of left atrial hypertension
Ideal Body Weight Calculation
Males: 50 + 2.3 (Height [inches]-60)
Females: 45.5 + 2.3 (Height [inches]-60)
ARDS Net
Lower PEEP/ Higher FiO2
Start with this normally (maybe not with Prost though)
FiO2 of 0.3 - PEEP of 5
FiO2 of 0.4 - PEEP of 5-8
FiO2 of 0.5 - PEEP of 8-10
FiO2 of 0.6 - PEEP of 10
FiO2 of 0.7 - PEEP of 10-14
FiO2 of 0.8 - PEEP of 14
FiO2 of 0.9 - PEEP of 14-18
FiO2 of 1.0 - PEEP of 18-24
ARDs Net Higher PEEP/ Lower FiO2
Move to this second
FiO2 of 0.3 - PEEP of 14
FiO2 of 0.4 - PEEP of 14-16
FiO2 of 0.5 - PEEP of 16-18
FiO2 of 0.5 to 0.8 - PEEP of 20
FiO2 of 0.8 - PEEP of 22
FiO2 of 0.9 - PEEP of 22
FiO2 of 1.0 - PEEP of 22-24
ARDS Net Plateau Pressure
Check Pplat (0.5 second inspiratory pause) at least q 4h and after each change in PEEP or Vt
If Pplat is > 30 cmH2O: Decrease Vt by 1 ml/kg steps (minimum= 4 ml.kg)
If Pplat is <25 cmH2O and Vt < 6 ml/kg: Increase Vt by 1 ml/kg until Pplat is >25 cmH2O or Vt 6 ml/kg
If Pplat is < 30 cmH2O and bretah stacking or dys-synchrony occurs: May increase Vt in 1 ml.kg increments to 7-8 ml/kg if Pplat remains < 30 cmH2O
ARDS Net ABG Goals
pH Goal: 7.30-7.45
Acidosis Mangement (pH< 7.30): Increase RR until pH > 7.30 or PaCO2 <25 (Maximum set RR = 35)
If pH < 7.15: Increase RR to 35. If pH remains <7.15 Vt may be increased in 1 ml/kg steps until pH> 7.15 (Pplat target of 30 may be exceeded). May give NaHCO3
Alkalosis Management: Decrease vent rate is possible
