Objectives

• Barotrauma• Volutrauma• Atelectrauma• Biotrauma

Berlin definition of ARDS
• Exclusion of alternative causes of bilateral pulmonary edema• Cardiogenic pulmonary edema• Interstitial lung disease• Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage
• New or worsening respiratory symptoms within 1 week of known insult• Bilateral opacities not fully explained by pleural effusions, lung collapse
or heart failure
Berlin definition of ARDS
• Severity• Mild: 200 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mm Hg• Moderate: 100 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 200 mm Hg• Severe: PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 100 mm Hg
• Prognosis:• Mild: 27% mortality (95% CI 24 – 30%), 5 days on ventilator (IQR 2 – 11)• Moderate: 32% mortality (95% CI 29 – 34%), 7 days on ventilator (IQR 4 – 14)• Severe: 45% mortality (95% CI 42 – 48%), 9 days on ventilator (IQR 5-17)

Therapy
• Lung protective ventilation / prone positioning• Treat the underlying cause
Lung protective ventilation
• Tidal volume of 6ml / kg of predicted body weight• Plateau pressure of 30 cm H2O or less• Reduce tidal volume to 4 – 6 ml / kg of predicted body weight if
unable to keep plateau pressure < 30 cm H20• Higher levels of PEEP supported

Driving pressure (Dp)
• Difference between plateau pressure and PEEP• Might be a better estimate of relationship between tidal volume
administered by ventilator and patient specific volume of aerated lung
• Strongest mortality predictor• Tv, PEEP, Pplat, RR
• Dp of > 14 cm H2O results in steeper mortality increase with Dpincrease

Prone positioning
• Optimizes blood flow to the dependent lung• Reduces atelectasis• Facilitates secretion drainage• Increases FRC• Reduces plateau pressure
• In severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mm Hg) reduces mortality (16% vs. 32.8%)
• Has to be done for > 12 hrs / 24 hr period
Gattinoni L Lancet. 1997; 350(9080): 815
Prone positioning
• Indications:• PaO2 / FiO2 < 150 mm Hg • FiO2 > 0.6, PEEP > 5 cm H2O• ARDS
• Contraindications• Shock• Massive hemoptysis• Fractures / spinal instability• Elevated ICP (> 30mm Hg) or CPP < 60 mm Hg• Tracheal surgery or sternotomy in the past 2 weeks• Pregnancy

Cisatracurium
• Improves ventilator synchrony
• Reduces VILI
• Possible decrease in systemic inflammation
Forel JM. Crit Care Med 2006;34:2749-57
Cisatracurium
• Early administration (within 48 hrs of onset)• Severe ARDS (PaO2 / FiO2 < 150 mm Hg)• Neuromuscular blockade for 48 hrs
• 28 day mortality decrease• 23.7% vs. 33.3%
• Increase in ventilator – free days and days outside of ICU

Recruitment maneuvers
• Lung inflation with high pressure for a period of time• 35 – 50 cm H2O• Usually 30 – 45 seconds• Up to 4 times daily
• Improve oxygenation• Increase hypotension episodes and transient desaturation• No effect on mortality
Fan E. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2008;178(11):1156-1163
Recruitment maneuvers
• Recruitment maneuver followed by decremental PEEP guided by lung compliance
• ARDS, PaO2 / FiO2 < 200 mm Hg
• Resulted in increased 28 and 60 day mortality

Extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R)
• Low flow VV or AV device to facilitate CO2 removal but not oxygenation
• Allows for ultraprotective lung ventilation strategy (3ml/kg PBW Tv)• In severe ARDS, PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mm Hg, results in more ventilator
free days• No difference in mortality
• More studies en route.

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation
• Theoretically improves oxygenation, controls lung injury and maximizes lung recruitment
• When used early (<48 hrs post dx) in ARDS with PaO2/FiO2 < 250 mm Hg, increases number of ventilator free days and requires less proning, paralysis or recruitment maneuvers

High frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV)
• Theoretically ideal ventilation mode in ARDS• Extremely small Tv• High “PEEP”• Limited airway pressures
• Mortality increased in large RCT causing early trial stop. • Potentially d/t effect on hemodynamics
• May be used as rescue strategy in very severe ARDS. (PaO2/FiO2 < 64 mm Hg
Meade MO. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2017;196(6):727-733 Ferguson ND. N Engl J Med. 2013;368(9):795-805
More therapies that do not work
• Aspirin (325mg loading dose followed by 81mg for 7 days)• Inhaled NO• Beta 2 agonists• Keratinocyte growth factor• Statins• Stem cells• Interferon beta – 1a
