Background

  • Acronym: ARDS
  • Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to lung capillary endothelial injury
    • Proteinaceous material accumulate in alveoli in a heterogeneous manner
  • Symptom of an underlying disease

Clinical Features

  • Diagnostic criteria[1]
  1. New onset respiratory symptoms
  2. Bilateral pulmonary opacities
  3. Symptoms not explained by cardiac etiology or volume overload
  • Severity by Berlin definition[2]
PaO2/FiO2 Severity Mortality
200-300 Mild 27%
100-200 Mod 32%
<100 Severe 45%

Differential Diagnosis

Pulmonary Edema Types

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure <18 mmHg differentiates noncardiogenic from cardiogenic pulmonary edema[3]

Diagnosis

  • CXR
  • CBC
  • Chem 10
  • UA
  • LFT
  • Lipase
  • PT/PTT
  • Influenza (seasonal)
  • Blood cultures
  • Lactate
  • Consider bedside echo
  • Consider ABG/VBG
  • Consider BNP

Management

  • Treat underlying cause
    • Cover for sepsis
      • Pneumonia in addition to other identified source
    • Tamiflu 75mg BID oral or NGT if influenza season [4]
  • Supplemental O2
  • Noninvasive ventilation
    • Limited data to support use
  • Ventilator Settings
    • Permissive hypercapnia
    • Tidal volume 6-8cc/kg of ideal body weight[5]
      • Limit barotrauma to healthy area of lung
      • Increase PEEP to improve oxygenation
    • Maintain plateau pressures < 30 [7]
    • Ensure adequate sedation
      • Better synchrony with vent
      • Decreased oxygen consumption
      • Less delirium
      • Increased patient comfort
    • Prone ventilation [8]
      • Increases survival for severe ARDS
      • Consider for refractory hypoxemia
    • APRV (BiVent) to recruit alveoli, if minimal to no respiratory acidosis[9][10]
      • Start PHigh at PPlat at 28, try not to go beyond 35 cmH2O
      • PPlateau = desired Pmean + 3 cmH2O
      • PLow at 0 cmH2O for maximal expiration
      • THigh at 4.5-6 seconds (inspiratory time)
      • Tlow at 0.5-0.8 seconds (expiratory time), with TV 4-6 cc/kg
      • Automatic tube compensation ON if pt spontaneously breathing[11]
    • Pressure control ventilation (PCV) if acidosis with APRV
      • Attempt to maintain same rate
      • Maintain same Pmean
    • Recruitment maneuver
      • Varying methods and protocols
      • Controversial in risks and benefits

Disposition

  • Admit to ICU
