The Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Medical Clinics of North America, 1983The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an extreme form of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with alveolar-capillary damage. Clinical features include acute respiratory distress, dyspnea and tachypnea, severe hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy, and diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates.

Adult respiratory distress syndrome
The American Journal of Surgery, 1991Basic scientists and clinicians have written numerous articles on the diverse causes of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There is no specific diagnostic test for ARDS; the condition is characterized by interstitial lung edema, reduction in lung compliance, alveolar and small airway closure, decrease in functional residual capacity, and ...

Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2004ARDS or acute respiratory distress syndrome continues to be a considerable critical care challenge. Mortality has not decreased significantly over the last more than 30 years. This article presents an overview of origin, evaluation, and treatment of ARDS.

The Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Drug Intelligence & Clinical Pharmacy, 1984The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common form of acute respiratory failure that has been increasingly reported as associated with a wide variety of medical conditions. Unlike other identifiable pathological events causing severe lung injury, it is now recognized that ARDS is not a single disease, but a complex interaction of ...

Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Pediatrics In Review, 1993Definition The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was first defined by Ashbaugh et al in 1967. It is a syndrome of acute parenchymal lung dysfunction characterized by the following clinical presentation: 1) a major antecedent precipitating event, 2) the sudden onset of tachypnea and hypoxemia refractory to high concentrations ...

The Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Annual Review of Medicine, 1985The Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome is a complication of many illnesses such as sepsis, pneumonia and trauma afflicting over 150,000 patients per year. While progress in intensive care medicine has increased the survival rates in many of these underlying illnesses, major obstacles remain in the successful therapy of ARDS.

THE ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1974The term "adult respiratory distress syndrome" is used to describe a serious and often fatal condition which may develop in any patient subjected to massive trauma, major surgery on serious medical illness.Despite the obscure nature of the primary pulmonary insult, the syndrome presents a constant and stereotyped clinical, roentgenologic and pathologic

Respiratory Mechanics in the Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Critical Care Clinics, 1986Recent methods developed for noninvasive determination of the mechanical properties of the respiratory system have been discussed. These methods have already provided valuable information in patients mechanically ventilated in the ICU setting, and could readily be applied to ARDS.

Adult respiratory distress syndrome in children
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1982Twenty patients (age 2 weeks to 15 years) who fulfilled strict selection criteria for adult respiratory distress syndrome were identified during a 3 1/2-year period. The underlying disease was intra-abdominal infection/septicemia in seven, hypovolemic shock, near drowning, closed space burn, or cardiogenic shock caused by nupercaine intoxication in two
