Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury were defined at the North American-European Consensus Conference in 1994 (Bernard et al, 1994). They both have acute onsets of refractory hypoxaemia and are spectrums of the same syndrome, with the more severe acute respiratory distress syndrome having a ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (P/F) of <200mmHg and acute lung injury having a P/F of <300mmHg. To fulfil the definition, there must also be bilateral pulmonary infiltrates in the absence of left atrial hypertension. Acute respiratory distress syndrome has a mortality of approximately 40% and in those who survive to discharge there is frequently persistent morbidity. |
