      Which is incorrect regarding acute respiratory distress syndrome? Reduced compliance of lungs due to increased collagen and fibroblast activity is an early stage of ARDS. Severe hypoxaemia despite normal or low PaC02 occurs early. ARDS usually develops 12-72 hrs post triggering event.

      ARDS: Very low oxygenation. PaO2/FiO2 will be very low. Whiteout lungs. Biggest Risk factor? Sepsis. Tx: vent, low tidal volumes and high PEEP (which are lung protective strategies). Make them prone – lie them on bellies in ICU. Mortality rate of ARDS is 40% - that’s …

      The question that is being analyzed in this paper is: Does changing the patient to a prone position for at least 12 hours a day reduce the damage done to the lungs and promote faster recovery as opposed to keeping the patient in a supine position in a patient with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that is ventilator dependent?

      This response is considerably less than expected (PaO2 should be approximately 400 mm Hg while breathing an FIO2 of 0.7). Patients with ARDS present with variety of alveolar ventilation-to-perfusion abnormalities (Fig. 1). Also, lung compliance is decreased significantly, i.e., the lungs are stiff, requiring increased pressure for inflation.

      Mechanical in-exsufflation consists of insufflating the lungs with positive pressure, followed by a quick change to negative pressure exsufflation. This creates a peak and sustained flow high enough to mimic a cough and thereby to loosen and move secretions toward the oropharynx for suctioning or expectoration2. ... (ARDS), severe pneumonia ...
