Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Coggle Diagram
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Altered Physiology
Damage to alveolar type 2 cells
atelectasis
alveolar collapse
Severe inflammation
inflammatory cells, proteins and fluids escape intravascular space & leak into alveolar space
CO2 release & O2 inspiration impeded
Poor lung expansion, hypoxemia, & hypercapnia
CO2 release & O2 inspiration impaired
Clinical Manifestations
Restlessness
Dyspnea
Tachypnea
Crackles caused by fluid accumulation in lung
Treatment Modalities
Ventilation
100% oxygen administration w/ cannula
Intubation w/ mechanical ventilation
Perfusion
ECHMO
Blood transfusion to increase blood hemoglobin
Medications
Acid-reducing medications
Blood thinners to prevent clots
Pain medications/sedatives to make breathing on ventilator easier
Multi-System Alterations
Respiratory acidosis
Sepsis/Shock
Blood Clots
Muscle weakness
Depression
Multi-system organ failure
Death
