ARDS QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED AND 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
What does ARDS stand for? Correct Answers Acute Respiratory
Distress Syndrome
When were attempts to define and identify ARDS made? Correct
Answers Attempts to define and identify the current state of the disease
were addressed at the American-European Consensus Conference
(AECC) in 1994. The ARDS network was also formed.
What percentage of patients admitted to the ICU have ARDS or ALI?
Correct Answers Approximately 10-15%
ARDS mortality remains around what percent, despite what? Correct
Answers Around 40%, despite recent advances/significant clinical trials
Mechanical ventilation for ARDS patients have shifted from what type
to what? Correct Answers Because of recent studies/advances, the
ventilation has shifted volume-targeted to pressure-targeted.
Why pressure controlled? Correct Answers In volume ventilation, it
allows the pressures to go all over whereas pressure controlled allows a
set pressure.
What is the AECC definition of ARDS? Correct Answers It is an acute
clinical illness characterized by the development of bilateral pulmonary
, infiltrate on chest radiograph and severe hypoxemia with a PaO2/FiO2
ratio less than 200 mmHg in absence of CHF.
What is syndrome defined as? Correct Answers A group of
signs/symptoms
-a nonspecific response by the lung to a variety of stresses or injuries
which can be either pulmonary or non-pulmonary in nature
What are the clinical definition of ARDS? Correct Answers The clinical
or acute onset, dyspnea, tachypnea, a predisposing condition
What is the physiological definition of ARDS? Correct Answers
Progressive respiratory failure with severe hypoxemia, refractory
hypoxemia, reduced pulmonary compliance, high shunt fraction...
What is the radiological definition of ARDS? Correct Answers ARDS
has diffuse interstitial and alveolar infiltrates, alveolar instability and
atelectasis; ground glass appearance.
What are pathological entities of ARDS? Correct Answers Edema,
hemorrhage [dilated engorged capillaries], microemboli, hyaline
membrane formation, beefy lung
What are the FIVE diagnostic criteria for ARDS? Correct Answers 1.
Acute onset of respiratory distress
2. Diffuse infiltrates
