1 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Allan Wardhaugh

2 Definition Aetiology Pathophysiology and CT work Molecular pathophysiology Conventional ventilation strategies Advanced treatments HFOV Surfactant ino Prone postioning Steroids

3 Definition (2012) Acute onset of respiratory symptoms (within 7days of trigger illness) CXR or CT chest with bilateral infiltrates not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload PaO2/FiO2: mmhg mild mmhg moderate <100 mmhg severe Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeThe Berlin Definition The ARDS Definition Task Force* JAMA. 2012;307(23): doi: /jama

4 Aetiology Pulmonary Infective pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia Extra-pulmonary Trauma Sepsis Burns Other causes of SIRS

5 CT studies Demonstrate dependent oedema Shows heterogeneity of lung appearances Proportion of recruitable lung small

6 Gattinoni et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001; 164:

7 CT scan through the carina 5 d after severe trauma shows diffuse ground glass opacification, right greater than left. There is a nondependent to dependent gradient. Incidentally noted is pneumomediastinum and a chest tube draining a pneumothorax Seven days later, there is partial clearing of both the diffuse ground glass opacification and the gravity-dependent atelectasis. The pneumomediastinum is almost completely resolved. Five days later, ground glass opacification has a more reticular pattern. There is now a pneumatocele in the left midlung and increasing atelectasis adjacent to it.

11 Tremblay L, Valenza F, Ribeiro SP, Li J, Slutsky AS. Injurious ventilatory strategies increase cytokines and c-fos m-rna expression in an isolated rat lung model. J Clin Invest 1997; 99: Ventilation causes inflammation Rat lungs (removed from body) ventilated for 2 hours at one of : - Vt 7ml/kg, PEEP3 Vt 15ml/kg, PEEP 10 Vt 15ml/kg, PEEP 0 Vt 40ml/kg PEEP 0 BAL fluid analysed for TNF α, IL 1β, IL 10. Inflammatory cytokines higher in lungs with no PEEP and highest in high tidal volume

12 Ventilation strategies PEEP Low tidal volume Permissive hypercapnia

13 Inflation pressures Volume Inflection point Optimum PEEP Pressure

14 PEEP good, overdistension bad PIP 14 PIP 30 PIP 45 PEEP 0 No lung damage Perivascular oedema Severe alveoalar oedema, death by 1 hour PEEP 10 Perivascular oedema Perivascular oedema, but no alveolar oedema - survived Webb HH, Tierney DF. Am Rev Respir Dis 1974; 110:

15 Tidal volume vs pressure Rat model ventilated with 5 strategies: - Low Volume, low pressure (controls) Low volume, high pressure (chest and abdomen strapped) High pressure (45cm), High volume (40ml/kg) High pressure with PEEP 10cm, volume 25ml/kg High volume, low pressure (iron lung). Ventilation at high volume, irrespective of pressure produces pulmonary oedema and alveolar cell damage. Pressure on its own does not cause damage

Intensive Care Med 1990; 16: Low tidal volume improves outcome? Tidal volumes 5ml/kg, PIP < 40, permissive hypercapnia

17 Yes, low tidal volume improves outcome Vt 6ml/kg vs 12ml/kg, PIP < 30, Sats 88% - 95%. ph Relative improvement in mortality 22%.

44 Summary ARDS is a dynamic process Ventilation at low tidal volumes improves outcomes in adults Some evidence that HFOV improves outcomes in children Steroids don t improve mortality in prolonged ARDS in adults Other strategies improve physiological end points but do not improve survival Prognosis has improved in adults Prognosis in children closely related to underlying cause and presence of multi-organ failure
