The most common cause of ARDS is sepsis, followed by severe pneumonia, aspiration, trauma, and toxic inhalation.
ARDS progresses through four stages: Exudative, Proliferative, Fibrotic, and Recovery Phase.
Mechanical ventilation with lung-protective strategies is the first-line treatment for ARDS.
The best treatment involves oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, ECMO (in severe cases), and anti-inflammatory medications.
The main treatment includes low tidal volume ventilation, sedation, and prone positioning.
Immediate oxygen support, ventilation, and ICU monitoring are essential.
ARDS occurs due to inflammatory damage to the alveoli, leading to fluid buildup and impaired oxygen exchange.
Many patients recover, but some may experience chronic lung disease or require long-term oxygen therapy.
Patients typically require mechanical ventilation for 1-3 weeks, depending on severity.
The fibrotic phase is the final stage, where lung scarring and organ failure may occur.
Mild cases may resolve, but severe cases can result in permanent lung damage.
SARS is caused by the SARS-CoV virus, a coronavirus similar to COVID-19.
The most feared complication is respiratory failure, which may require ICU care and mechanical ventilation.
