ARDS
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
• Acute respiratory failure in the post traumatic
period characterized by a decreased PaO2 and
a diffuse and often massive extravasations of
fluid from the pulmonary vasculature to the
interstitial space of the lungs.
ARDS Clinical Definition
– Acute onset of symptoms
– Ratio of PaO2 to FIO2 of 200 mm Hg or less
– Bilateral infiltrates on CXRs
– Pulmonary arterial wedge pressure of 18 mm Hg or less
or no clinical signs of left atrial hypertension
– American-European Consensus Conference (AECC) on ARDS, 94
ARDS
• Incidence 5% – 8% after polytrauma
– Much lower in isolated fracture
• Mortality up to 40%
• Uncommon in Children and the Elderly

Outcome
• Significant Cause of Mortality
• Major Cause of Death in Patients with the
Lowest ISS scores
• 30% - 40% Mortality Rate
– Mortality Rate Slowly Decreasing with
Changing & Improving Therapy
Fat Embolism Syndrome
(FES)
• A condition characterized by hypoxia,
confusion and petechiae presenting soon
after long bone fracture and soft tissue
injury.
• Diagnosis of Exclusion
FES
• Often Placed in the Category of ARDS
– May share common pathological pathways
• R/O other Causes of Hypoxia & Confusion
• Index Patient
– young adult with isolated LE injury seen after long
transfer with no supporting therapy or splintage.
FES
• Occurs in 0.9 – 8.5% of all fracture patients
• Up to 35% of the multiply injured
• Mortality 2.5%
• Rare in upper limb injury and children
Etiology
• The likely pathogenetic reaction of lung tissue to
shock, hypercoagulability and lipid metabolism
• Mechanical Theory
• Biochemical Theory
Mechanical Theory
• Fracture Liberates Fat
• Intravasation - Fat Enters Venous System
• Fat Causes Mechanical Obstruction
Mechanical Theory
FES To Brain On MRI
• Systemic Fat Embolization
– Patent Foramen Ovale
– Pulmonary Pre-Capillary
Shunts
– Skin petechiae, CNS signs
Biochemical Theory
• Neutral Fat and Chemical Mediators
Released at Time of Fracture
• Neutral Fat Metabolized by Lipases releases
