SEPTEMBER 5, 2012
DEFINITIONS
AECC Definition (1994):
Acute onset
PaO2/FiO2 < 200 mm Hg (<300 mm Hg in ALI)
Bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on radiography
Exclude cardiogenic pulmonary edema: PCWP <18 mm Hg or clinically
Mild - 200 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mm Hg w/PEEP or CPAP > 5 cm H20
Moderate - 100 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 < 200 mm Hg w/PEEP > 5 cm H20
Severe - 100 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 w/PEEP > 5 cm H20
ETIOLOGY
Acute alveolar-capillary injury is triggered by wide range of
primary disease processes3,4:
Infection: Sepsis (MCC, 18-38%), pneumonia
Severe Trauma, Burns, Multiple/Long Bone FX
Aspiration, Drug Overdose
Massive/Multiple Transfusion
Acute pancreatitis
TREATMENT STRATEGIES
Mechanical Ventilation
Supportive care
Treat underlying cause will not resolve otherwise
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
Low tidal volume ventilation and PEEP
Initial hypoxemia may require high FiO2
Appropriate sedation and pain control
Daily interruption of sedation, SBT to facilitate wean
Patients who survive initial course usually exhibit better
oxygenation and decreased infiltrates over next several
days
Some patients have persistent infiltrates and remain ventdependent
Tracheostomy may be required for prolonged mechanical
ventilation
Can take weeks to months to resolve
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
ARMA trial showed lower tidal volume ventilation (<6ml/kg
PBW, plateau pressures <30 cm H2O) had significantly
lower in-hospital mortality and significantly higher # of
days w/o mechanical ventilation2,5.
ALVEOLI study7 and meta-analysis of multiple RCTs6 failed
to show mortality benefit in higher vs. lower PEEP values
in patients with ALI and ARDS. However in patients with
ARDS, higher PEEP values may have a relative mortality
reduction, where as patients with ALI have no benefit or
may be harmed6.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION*
Start with initial tidal volume 8 ml/kg*PBW
FLUID MANAGEMENT
ARDS Net FACTT trial:
Early aggressive fluid resuscitation in sepsis, then either
liberal or conservative fluid management
NUTRITION
Institution of nutritional support 48-72 hours after
mechanical ventilation recommended
Tube feed preferred to TPN unless contraindicated (acute
abdomen, GI bleed, etc.)
Initial trophic (~400 kcal/day) enteral feeding for up to 6
days did not improve ventilator-free days, 60-day
mortality, or infectious complications but was associated
with less gastrointestinal intolerance8
RESCUE THERAPIES
No proven mortality reduction, but decrease hypoxemia2:
Recruitment maneuvers
ECMO and ECCO2R
Prone position
COMPLICATIONS FROM
TREATMENT
Ventilator associated pneumonia
Barotrauma, PTX, post extubation laryngeal edema,
subglotic stenosis
Line sepsis
Drug resistant infections (MRSA, VRE)
Persistent impairment after recovery Exercise, QoL even
after 5 years13
FURTHER RESEARCH
Pressure controlled ventilation and high frequency
oscillatory ventilation
Neuromuscular blocking agents (cisatracurium)
Statin therapy
Anti TNF- antibody, IL-1 Receptor antagonist
