Fluid Management in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
openpediatrics.orgIn this video, Dr. Stacey Valentine discusses fluid management in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including the evidence supporting fluid-restrictive strategies. Both acute lung injury and its more severe form, ARDS, are the result of a large-scale pulmonary inflammatory response, leading to hypoxemia and respiratory failure. The common pathway of this inflammatory response is diffuse alveolar damage.
