ARDS: What Is It?
Term first introduced in 1967
Acute respiratory failure with non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, capillary leak after diverse insult
Adult RDS defined to differentiate from neonatal surfactant deficiency
Problems with definition troubled literature
Murray score 1988: CXR, PEEP, Hypoxemia, Compliance
Synonyms Shock lung Da Nang Lung Traumatic wet lung
New and ImprovedNew and Improved
Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
ARDS: New Definition
Criteria Acute onset Bilateral CXR infiltrates PA pressure < 18 mm Hg Classification
Acute lung injury - PaO2 : F1O2 < 300
Acute respiratory distress syndrome - PaO2 : F1O2 < 200
- 1994 American - European Consensus Conference
ARDS - Epidemiology
New criteria allow better estimate of incidence
• 1994 criteria in Sweden: ALI 17.9/100,000; 13.5/100,000 ARDS
• US: may be closer to 75/1000,000
• Prospective data pending
• Incidence in children appears similar
• 5-9% of PICU admissions

ARDS - Pathogenesis
Instigation
• Endothelial injury: increased permeability of alveolar - capillary barrier
• Epithelial injury : alveolar flood, loss of surfactant, barrier vs. infection
• Pro-inflammatory mechanisms
ARDS Pathogenesis: Resolution Phase
Equally important
• Alveolar edema - resolved by active sodium transport
• Alveolar type II cells - re-epithelialize
• Neutrophil clearance needed
ARDS - Pathophysiology
• Capillary leak:non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
• Inflammatory mediators
• Diminished surfactant activity and airway collapse
• Reduced lung volumes
• Heterogeneous
• “Baby Lungs”
• Altered pulmonary hemodynamics
ARDS - Pathophysiology: Diminished Surfactant Activity
• Surfactant production and composition altered in ARDS: low lecithin-sphingomyelin ratio
• Components of edema fluid may inactivate surfactant
ARDS - Pathophysiology: Diminished Surfactant Activity• Surfactant product of Type II
pneumocytes
• Importance of surfactant: P = 2T/r (Laplace equation; P:
trans-pulmonary pressure, T: surface tension, r: radius)
• Surfactant proportions surface tension to surface area: thus
ARDS - Pathophysiology: Lung Volumes
• Reduced lung volumes, primarily reduced FRC
• FRC = ? Nl =
• Low FRC-large intrapulmonary shunt, hypoxemia
• Implies lower compliance = flatter PV curve marked hysteresis PV curve concave above FRC and inflection
point at volume > FRC closing volume in range of tidal volume resistance increased primarily due to
mechanical unevenness (vs. airway R): high flow rates helpful
ARDS - Pathophysiology: Lung Volumes
• FRC = Volume of gas in lungs at end of normal tidal expiration; outward recoil of chest wall = inward recoil of lungs
• Normal FRC =
• FRC decreased by 20-40% in ARDS
• FRC decreased by 20-30% when supine: elevate head!
ARDS - Pathophysiology: Mediators
• Massive literature
• Mediators involved but extent of cause/effect unknown
• Cellular: neutrophils-causative: depletion in
models can obliterate lesion; ARDS can occur in neutropenic patient; direct endothelial injury, release radicals, proteolytic enzymes
macrophages-release cytokines
ARDS - Pathophysiology: Mediators
• Humoral: Complement Cytokines: TNF, IL-1 PAF, PGs, leukotrienes NO Coagulant pathways
ARDS - Pathophysiology:Pulmonary Edema• Non-cardiogenic pulmonary
edema-Starling formula
• What changes in ARDS? Q = K(Pc - Pis) - (pl - is)
Q = K = Pc = ; Pis = = pl = ; is =
Phases of ARDS
• Acute - exudative, inflammatory: capillary congestion, neutrophil aggregation, capillary endothelial swelling, epithelial injury; hyaline membranes by 72 hours
(0 - 3 days)
• Sub-acute - proliferative: proliferation of type II pneumocytes (abnormal lamellar bodies with decreased surfactant), fibroblasts-intra-alveolar, widening of septae
(4 - 10 days)
• Chronic - fibrosing alveolitis: remodeling by collagenous tissue, arterial thickening, obliteration of pre-capillary vessels; cystic lesions
( > 10 days)
ARDS - Outcomes
• Most studies - mortality 40% to 60%; similar for children/adults
• Death is usually due to sepsis/MODS rather than primary respiratory
• Mortality may be decreasing

Prone Positioning in ARDS
• Theory: let gravity improve matching perfusion to better ventilated areas
• Improvement immediate
• Uncertain effect on outcome
Prone Positioning in Adult ARDS
• Randomized trial
• Standard therapy vs. standard + prone positioning
• Improved oxygenation
• No difference in mortality, time on ventilator, complications
Gattinoni et al., NEJM, 2001
Prone Positioning in Pediatric ARDS:Longer May Be Better
• Compared 6-10 hrs PP vs. 18-24 hrs PP
• Overall ARDS survival 79% in 40 pts.

• Greater crossover to HFOV and improvement
• Failure to respond to HFOV strong predictor of death

HFOV vs. CMV in Pediatric Respiratory Failure
HFOV
• Reduces need for ECMO, chronic lung disease in neonates
• Improves survival without CLD in pediatric ARDS
HFOV: Outcomes of Randomized Controlled Trials
Pediatric ECMO
• Potential candidates
• Neonate - 18 years
• Reversible disease process
• Severe respiratory/cardiac failure
• < 10 days mechanical ventilation
• Acute, life-threatening deterioration
Impact of ECMO on Survival in Pediatric Respiratory Failure
• Retrospective, multi-center cohort analysis
• 331 patients, 32 hospitals
• Use of ECMO associated with survival (p < .001)
• 53 diagnosis and risk-matched pairs:
ECMO decreased mortality (26% vs 47%, p < .01)

Surfactant in ARDS
• ARDS: surfactant deficiency surfactant present is
dysfunctional
• Surfactant replacement improves physiologic function
Calf’s Lung Surfactant Extract in Acute Pediatric Respiratory
Failure
• Multi-center trial-uncontrolled, observational
• Calf lung surfactant (Infasurf) – intra-tracheal
• Immediate improvement and weaning in 24/29 children with ARDS
• 14% mortality-Willson et al,CCM, 24:1996
Surfactant in Pediatric ARDS
•Current randomized multi-center trial
•Placebo vs calf lung surfactant (Infasurf)
•Children’s at Egleston is a participating center-study closed, await results
Steroids in ARDS
• Theoretical anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic benefit
• Previous studies with acute use (1st 5 days)
No benefit
Increased 2 infection
Effects of Prolonged Steroids in Unresolving ARDS
• Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
• Adult ARDS ventilated for > 7 days without improvement

days, tapered over 1 month
Meduri et al, JAMA 280:159, 1998
Steroids in Unresolving ARDS
• By day 10, steroids improved: PaO2/FiO2 ratios Lung injury/MOD scores Static lung compliance

Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Respiratory Failure
Neonates Beneficial in term neonates with
PPHN Decreased need for ECMO
Adults/Pediatrics Benefits - lowers PA pressures,
improves gas exchange Randomized trials: No difference
in mortality or days of ventilation
ECMO and NO in Neonates
• ECMO improves survival in neonates with PPHN (UK study)
• NO decreases need for ECMO in neonates with PPHN: 64% vs 38% (Clark et al, NEJM, 2000)
Effects of Inhaled Nitric Oxide In Children with AHRF
• Randomized, controlled, blinded multi-center trial
• 108 children with OI > 15
• Randomized: Inhaled NO 10 ppm vs. mechanical ventilation alone
