The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is seen with increasing frequency. It is associated with a variety of conditions even in the absence of preexisting pulmonary diseases. The treatment often includes intubation, using positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP), and other ancillary support. The mortality rate is high, and physicians caring for such patients should be on guard for disseminated intravascular coagulation, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and infection.
成人呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)的发病率日益增高。即便患者先前没有肺部疾病,它也与多种病症相关。治疗通常包括插管、使用呼气末正压通气(PEEP)以及其他辅助支持措施。死亡率很高,照料这类患者的医生应警惕弥散性血管内凝血、胃肠道出血和感染。
