The Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Medical Clinics of North America, 1983
The 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.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1974
The sequential pathological changes of the respiratory distress syndrome have been assessed in 200 lung biopsies and autopsy specimens over the past ten years. The initial microscopic changes consisted of thromboemboli in pulmonary arterioles. These were followed by congestion and interstitial edema and hemorrhage over the next 24 hours. Intra-alveolar

Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Calves

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2009
Respiratory disease syndrome (RDS) is a condition of neonatal calves in which insufficient oxygen uptake and increased retention of carbon dioxide result in respiratory acidosis. This condition is more common in premature calves and seems to be associated with a deficiency of surfactant.

THE ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1974
The 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

Adult respiratory distress syndrome

The American Journal of Surgery, 1991
Basic 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 ...

Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The American Journal of Nursing, 1975
The respiratory distress syndrome of infancy (RDS), which is also called hyaline membrane disease, is responsible for more deaths among infants and children than any other disease(1 ). Although advances in understanding the pathophysiology of RDS and in the technology of infant care have markedly decreased mortality, this disease remains a significant ...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2004
Several combination therapies have been described throughout this article: in all likelihood, it is combination therapy that will allow improved survival of ARDS patients. As medicine moves into the future, clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of therapies for ARDS will be performed.
