Overview of the Cardiopulmonary Clinical Manifestations Associated with ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME The following clinical manifestations result from the pathophysiologic mechanisms caused (or activated) by Atelectasis (see Figure 9-7), Alveolar Consolidation (see Figure 9-8), and Increased Alveolar-Capillary Membrane Thickness (see Figure 9-9)—the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with ARDS (see Figure 27-1).

General Management of ARDS Respiratory care treatment protocols Slide 27 Oxygen therapy protocol Hyperinflation therapy protocol Mechanical ventilation protocol Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. General Management of ARDS Common ARDS mechanical ventilation strategy: Slide 28 Low-tidal volumes and high respiratory rates 4 to 8 mL/kg Ventilatory rates as high as 35 breaths per minute PEEP and/or CPAP—to offset atelectasis Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. General Management of ARDS The therapeutic goals of low-tidal volume ventilation 1. Decrease high transpulmonary pressure 2. Reduce overdistention of the lungs 3. Decrease barotrauma Slide 29 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
