Professor Zach Murphy will present on Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:
1. Introduction to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- Gain a fundamental understanding of ARDS, including its definition and clinical significance.
- Familiarize yourself with the historical context and evolving nomenclature leading up to the current Berlin Criteria.
2. Pathophysiology of ARDS
- Understand the complex pathophysiological mechanisms that lead to ARDS, including inflammation, alveolar damage, and hypoxia.
- Discuss the risk factors and common precipitating conditions like sepsis, pneumonia, and trauma.
3. Clinical Presentation and Symptoms
- Identify the key clinical manifestations of ARDS, such as rapid onset of severe dyspnea, hypoxia, and respiratory distress.
- Understand the significance of early signs like tachypnea and decreased oxygen saturation.
4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
- Dive into the Berlin Criteria for diagnosing ARDS, covering aspects like timing, severity, and imaging findings.
- Learn how to interpret diagnostic tools like arterial blood gas (ABG), chest X-ray, and CT scans in the context of ARDS.
5. Management Strategies for ARDS
- Discuss evidence-based management approaches, including lung-protective ventilation, fluid management, and prone positioning.
- Explore pharmacologic options such as corticosteroids and neuromuscular blockers and when they might be indicated.
6. Monitoring and Prognostic Factors
- Understand the metrics and markers used to assess ARDS severity and guide management.
- Learn about prognostic indicators such as the APACHE II score, lung injury score, and other multi-organ dysfunction scores.
7. Complications and Long-term Outcomes
- Recognize the potential complications of ARDS like barotrauma, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and long-term pulmonary fibrosis.
- Discuss the impact of ARDS on long-term morbidity and quality of life.
