ARDS is a common thing that we come across with patients in the ICU. It is a result of diffuse alveolar and capillary inflammation and subsequent damage and leads to hypoxemia and heavy, stiff, noncompliant lungs. In this lesson we review over this info, including the Berlin Definition of ARDS and then dive into the pathophysiology, starting with what we would expect with a normal healthy lung. From there I talk about the changes we expect to see with the alveoli and capillaries and the problems that result. I also hit on the pulmonary hypertension and in recovery the pulmonary fibrosis that we can see leading to long to effects. Finally I cover the different causes of ARDS, as it is not just one disease process and includes direct and indirect causes.
