Exam 2 Study Guide Flashcards
Symptoms of ARDS
Arterial hypoxemia
➢ May include tachypnea, bronchospasm, and acute pulmonary hypertension
What is ARDS?
Inflammatory injury to the lung that manifests clinically as acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
Clinical disorders and risk factors associated c/ the development of ARDS include
events that cause direct lung injury as well as those that lead to indirect injury to the lungs in the setting of a systemic process
Sepsis is associated c/ the
highest risk of progression of acute lung injury to ARDS
DIRECT LUNG INJURY
PAPFaNI
- Pneumonia
- Aspiration of gastric contents
- Pulmonary contusion
- Fat emboli
- Near drowning
- Inhalational injury
INDIRECT LUNG INJURY
STMCDA
- Sepsis
- Trauma associated c/ shock
- Multiple blood transfusions
- Cardiopulmonary bypass
- Drug overdose
- Acute pancreatitis
Signs and Symptoms : First sign of ARDS
• Arterial hypoxemia resistant to treatment with supplemental oxygen is usually the first sign
ARDS Death often result of
sepsis or multiple organ failure rather than respiratory failure
Lung volume expansion maneuvers
Incentive spirometry,
Leads to pneumonia to ARDS,
Intraoperative aspiration
ARDS Radiographic signs
may appear before symptoms develop
ARDS Diagnosis 2
- Presentation of acute refractory hypoxemia
* Diffuse infiltrates on chest radiograph consistent c/ pulmonary edema
Resp parameters Ratio in ARDS
Decreased arterial PaO2/FIO2 ratio
Decreased arterial PaO2/FIO2 ratio:
Mild ARDS:
Ratio is 201–300
Decreased arterial PaO2/FIO2 ratio:
Moderate ARDS:
Ratio is 101–200
Decreased arterial PaO2/FIO2 ratio:
Severe ARDS:
Ratio is <101
Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
POT GOD RICAN
Positive end-expiratory pressure
Oxygen supplementation
Tracheal intubation/Mechanical ventilation
Glucocorticoid therapy (?)
Optimization of intravascular fluid volume
Diuretic therapy
Removal of secretions
Inotropic support
Control of infection
Administration of inhaled β2 -adrenergic agonists
Nutritional support
Anesthesia Considerations for ARDS
Battling ventilation strategies: Protective Ventilation
Vt?
- Protective ventilation
- Prevents ventilator-induced lung injury
- Low Vt (6 mL/kg) = 22% mortality benefit, less inflammatory mediators
ARDS anesthesia considerations what are the 2 types of battling ventilation strategies:
Protective ventilation and OPEN lung ventilation
Anesthesia Considerations for ARDS: Battling ventilation strategies: OPEN Ventilation (PSN)
- PEEP titrated to highest value possible while keeping plateau pressure below 28–30 cm H2O
- Significantly more ventilator-free days and organ failure–free days
- No change in mortality
ARDS Prone positioning
• Exploits gravity and repositioning of heart in thorax to recruit lung units and improve ventilation/perfusion
matching
ARDS additional treatment
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
3 features of Asthma (CRB)
- Chronic airway inflammation
- Reversible expiratory airflow obstruction
- Bronchial hyperactivity
What is Status Asthmaticus?
- Life threatening bronchospasm that persists despite treatment.
