ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema

ARDS - DEFINITION Severe arterial hypoxemia

Partial pressure arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen [Pao2/Fio2] ratio of 200 or less

Bilateral alveolar infiltrates No elevated left atrial pressure

Pulmonary wedge pressure Should be normal in ARDS > 18mmHg

Pathophysiologic hallmark of ARDS Increased vascular permeability

Page 5: ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (ARDS)

www.medicinemcq.com 5

Diffuse damage to the alveolar capillary membrane Increased vascular permeability Fluid accumulation inside the alveoli Loss of diffusion capacity Surfactant abnormalities

Damage to type 2 pneumocytes

Initial injury Capillary endothelium

Alveolar epithelial cells More resistant than vascular endothelial

cells to injurious effects

Vital to the causation of ARDS Diffuse alveolar capillary damage

Caused by a variety of insults

PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES

Diffuse pulmonary capillary damage 

Diffuse alveolar damage  Protein rich edema fluid in the

alveoli  Hyaline membrane formation

Failure of alveolar capillary membrane function Flooding of the alveoli with protein

rich edema fluid

Surfactant loss and dysfunction Alveolar collapse
