book describes Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases<br />Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung disorder that prevents sufficient oxygen from getting to the lungs and into the blood.<br />ARDS is a disorder that causes fluid to leak into the lungs, stopping oxygen from getting to the organs.<br />It is serious, occasionally life-threatening, and can get worse quickly.<br />But it is normally treatable and most people can recover from it.<br />Fast diagnosis and treatment are essential<br />The organs require sufficient oxygen to work well and keep the patient going<br />Infants can also have respiratory distress syndrome.<br />Causes<br />ARDS can be produced by any major direct or indirect injury to the lung.<br />Frequent causes are:</p><ol><li>Breathing vomit into the lungs (aspiration)</li><li>Inhaling chemicals</li><li>Lung transplant</li><li>Pneumonia</li><li>Septic shock (infection throughout the body)</li><li>Trauma<br />Dependent on the quantity of oxygen in the blood and during breathing, the severity of ARDS is categorized as:</li><li>Mild (PaO2/FiO2 200-300),</li><li>Moderate (PaO2/FiO2 100-200), and</li><li>Severe (PaO2/FiO2 100).<br />ARDS can cause a collection of fluid in the air sacs (alveoli).<br />Fluid leaks from small blood vessels and collects in the tiny air sacs in the lungs.<br />The lungs are then not able to fill up with enough air.<br />This fluid stops enough oxygen from passing into the bloodstream.<br />The fluid collection also makes the lungs heavy and stiff.<br />This decreases the lungs ability to expand.<br />Due to this, the blood traveling to the lungs cannot take up the quantity of oxygen it requires to carry to the rest of the body.<br />The level of oxygen in the blood can remain precariously low, even if the person obtains oxygen from a ventilator through a breathing tube.<br />That can cause organs such as the kidneys or brain not to work as they should or shutting down.<br />Symptoms<br />Symptoms normally form within 24 to 48 hours of the damage or illness.<br />Often, people with ARDS are so ill they are not able to complain of symptoms.</li><li>Shortness of breath, often severe.<br />ARDS makes it difficult to breathe and puts great strain on the lungs.</li><li>Fast heartbeat</li><li>Organ failure</li><li>Low blood pressure</li><li>Unusually fast breathing</li><li>Confusion and exhaustion</li><li>Blue-tinted lips or nails</li><li>Dizziness</li><li>Lots of sweating<br />Diagnosis<br />No one test can diagnose a case of ARDS.<br />It is often a clinical diagnosis<br />A chest X-ray is crucial and provide the doctor an idea of how much fluid is in the lungs and where it is sited<br />Treatment<br />The treatment aims to get oxygen levels in the blood back up to where they should be, so the organs get what they need.<br />The purpose of treatment is to provide breathing support and treat the cause of ARDS.<br />This may require medicines to treat infections, reduce inflammation, and remove fluid from the lungs.<br />Doctors might begin with an air mask and later go to a breathing tube and ventilator<br />Other treatments might are:</li><li>Nutrition and medicine through IV fluids</li><li>Medicine to prevent bleeding and blood clots</li><li>Medicine to keep the patient calm and comfortable<br />People with ARDS are treated in the intensive care unit at a hospital.<br />People who react to treatment normally have a full recovery with no long-term harm<br />People often require to be deeply sedated with medicines.<br />During treatment, doctors make every effort to protect the lungs from further damage.<br />The treatment is mainly supportive until the lungs recover.<br />Occasionally, a treatment called extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is done, filtering blood through a machine to supply oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.<br />After ARDS the patient may require physical therapy</li></ol><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome<br />Chapter 2 Causes<br />Chapter 3 Symptoms<br />Chapter 4
