31st March 2014

F. 35ys , 300 Kgs, Lt. TIBIA/FIBULA Fx (Impacted In place).8th D -in pat. w.- after admission, sudden severe hypoxia PH 7.22 PaCO2 =72 mmhg PaO2=43 mmhg HCO36 , Unconscious.

Anesthesia on duty was called to IPW. Supported ventilation shifted pt. to ICU. Management started as will be discussed later.

Acute Respiratory FailureAcute Respiratory Failure

• Failure in one or both gas exchange functions: oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination

• In practice:

PaO2<60mmHg or PaCO2>46mmHg

• Derangements in ABGs and acid-base status

Acute Respiratory FailureAcute Respiratory Failure

• Hypercapnic v Hypoxemic respiratory failure

• ARDS and ALI

• Increased dead space ventilation• advanced emphysema• PaCO2 when Vd/Vt >0.5

• Late feature of shunt-type• edema, infiltrates

V/Q Abnormality


• VCO2 only an issue in pts with ltd ability to eliminate CO2

• Overfeeding with carbohydrates generates more CO2

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

• Severe ALI• B/L radiographic

infiltrates• PaO2/FiO2 <200mmHg

(ALI 201-300mmHg)• No e/o L Atrial P;

PCWP<18



• Develops ~4-48h• Persists days-wks• Diagnosis:

– Distinguish from cardiogenic edema

– History and risk factors

Inflammatory Alveolar Injury


Pro-inflmm cytokines (TNF, IL1,6,8)



Neutrophils - ROIs and proteases damage capillary endothelium and alveolar epithelium

Direct Lung Injury• Infectious pneumonia• Aspiration, chemical pneumonitis• Pulmonary contusion, penetrating lung injury• Fat emboli• Near-drowning• Inhalation injury• Reperfusion pulmonary edema s/p lung transplant



Indirect Lung Injury• Sepsis• Severe trauma with shock / hypoperfusion• Burns• Massive blood transfusion• Drug overdose: ASA, cocaine, opioids, phenothiazines, TCAs. • Cardiopulmonary bypass• Acute pancreatitis



Complications• Barotrauma

• Nosocomial pneumonia

• Sedation and paralysis persistent MS depression and neuromuscular weakness
