Background

  • 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[1]

PaO2/FiO2 Severity Mortality
200-300 Mild 27%
100-200 Mod 32%
<100 Severe 45%

Presentation

Imaging

  • Diffuse patchy pulmonary infiltrates

Causes

Differential Diagnosis

Pulmonary Edema Types

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure <18 mmHg differentiates noncardiogenic from cardiogenic pulmonary edema[2]

Evaluation

ARDS on CXR
  • CXR
  • CBC
  • Chem 10
  • Urinalysis
  • LFTs
  • Lipase
  • PT/PTT
  • Influenza (seasonal)
  • Blood cultures
  • Lactate
  • Consider bedside echo
  • Consider ABG/VBG
  • Consider BNP

Management

  • Treat underlying cause
  • Supplemental O2
  • Noninvasive ventilation
    • Limited data to support use
  • Consider pulse dose steroids in early, established, severe ARDS in ICU setting[4]
    • NOT for prevention of ARDS (will increase risk for ARDS and worsening sepsis if not in ARDS already)
    • In theory, may reduce fibro-proliferative inflammatory changes during exudative phase (< 1 wk)
    • No benefit to starting in late ARDS (> 2 wks)
    • Meduri protocol (21 vs. 43% mortality)[5]
      • 1mg/kg loading dose methylprednisolone
      • Followed by infusion of 1mg/kg/day from day 1-14
      • Then 0.5mg/kg/day from day 15-21
      • Then 0.25mg/kg/day from day 22-25
      • Finally 0.125mg/kg/day from day 26-28
  • Ventilator Settings
    • Permissive hypercapnia
    • Tidal volume 6-8cc/kg of predicted body weight[6]
      • Limit barotrauma to healthy area of lung
      • Increase PEEP to improve oxygenation
    • Maintain plateau pressures < 30 [9]
    • Ensure adequate sedation
      • Better synchrony with vent
      • Decreased oxygen consumption
      • Less delirium
      • Increased patient comfort
    • Prone ventilation [10]
      • Increases survival for severe ARDS
      • Consider for refractory hypoxemia
      • Many consider this a type of recruitment maneuver
    • APRV (BiVent) to recruit alveoli, if minimal to no respiratory acidosis[11][12]
      • 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 patient spontaneously breathing[13]
      • Full benefit of APRV is in patients that are not paralyzed that can provide spontaneous breaths
      • Wean by "dropping and stretching"
        • Every two hours or as tolerated, decrease PHigh by 1-2 cmH2O and increasing THight by 0.5 seconds per 1 cmH2O drop in PHigh
        • Monitor for drop in SpO2, increased work of breathing, tachypnea
        • Once PHigh reaches 10 cmH2O and THigh resaches 12-15 seconds with spontaneous respirations, change mode to CPAP with PEEP 10 cmH2O and PS 5-10 cmH2O, turn ATC off
    • Pressure control ventilation (PCV) if acidosis with APRV
      • Attempt to maintain same rate
      • Maintain same Pmean
    • PRVC or Volume control ventilation with paralysis to prevent barotrauma in breath stacking and vent dyssynchrony[14][15]
      • Cisatricurium loading dose 0.15 mg/kg, followed by 1-3 mcg/kg/min
      • Titrated to less than 2 twitches in train of four
      • Cisatricurium preferred to pancuronium in renal impairment
      • Cannot use paralysis with APRV
    • Recruitment maneuver
      • Varying methods and protocols
      • Controversial in risks and benefits

Adjuncts

Disposition

  • Admit to ICU
