3. PATIENT WITH ARDS

4. INTRODUCTION;
• Severe life threatening form of progressive
respiratory insufficiency.
• Involves pulmonary tissue diffusely
• Exists in 2 forms :neonatal and adult type
• Formation of hyaline membrane in alveoli
• Hence, termed as hyaline membrane
disease(HMD).
• Two forms have different clinical settings ,
response, consequences, etiology, pathogenesis
but similar morphology.

5. CAUSES
• Neonatal ARDS:
• >preterm infants
• >infants with diabetic mother
• >delivery by caesarean section
• >birth asphyxia
• >idiopathic

6. CONTINUE
• Adult ARDS:
• >shock
• >diffuse pulmonary infections
• >pancreatitis
• >oxygen toxicity
• >inhalation of toxins
• >narcotic over dose
• >aspiration pneumonitis
• >fat embolism

7. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

9. CLINICAL FEATURES
. Neonatal ARDS
>dyspnea within few hours of birth
