Jan 1, 2024 · Background: This document updates previously published Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), incorporating new evidence addressing the use of corticosteroids, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, neuromuscular blocking agents, and positive end-expiratory pressure ...

This document summarizes the pathophysiology of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It outlines multiple potential causes of ALI/ARDS including drug abuse, trauma, aspiration, inhalation, sepsis, and hematologic or pulmonary issues.

Jul 24, 2023 · Illustrative cases with patient descriptions, representative lung imaging, and oxygenation data for the three categories of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the global definition: intubated ARDS (top), nonintubated ARDS (middle), and ARDS in a resource-limited setting (bottom).

Jun 16, 2023 · Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the term applied to a spectrum of conditions with different etiologies which share common clinical-pathological characteristics including: (1) increased permeability of the alveolo-capillary membrane, resulting in inflammatory edema; (2) increased non-aerated lung tissue resulting in higher lung ...

Jan 31, 2024 · Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by poor oxygenation and non-compliant or "stiff" lungs. The disorder is associated with capillary endothelial injury and diffuse alveolar damage.

Survivors of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) experience challenges that persist well beyond the time of hospital discharge. Impairment in physical function, cognitive function, and mental health are common and may last for years.

Jun 15, 2020 · Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a rapidly progressive noncardiogenic pulmonary edema that initially manifests as dyspnea, tachypnea, and hypoxemia, then quickly evolves into...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome, a combination of clinical and physiological observations that describe a pathological state. The pathogenesis of ARDS is not completely clear and there is no gold standard for diagnosis.

Apr 5, 2013 · Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life threatening respiratory condition characterized by hypoxemia, and stiff lungs (1 - 4); without mechanical ventilation most patients would die.

With this review, we seek to provide an updated overview of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including a revised definition and current evidence-based management. Although a common condition, there have been difficulties agreeing a standardized definition of ARDS.
