Management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Refractory Hypoxemia. A Multicenter Observational Study

Abstract: Patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS receive treatment adjuncts frequently, especially with refractory hypoxemia. Paradoxically, therapies with less evidence supporting their use (e.g., pulmonary vasodilators) were over-used, whereas those with more evidence (e.g., prone positioning, neuromuscular blockade) were under-used. Patients received higher Vts and lower PEEP than would be suggested by the evidence.

“…The mainstay of treatment for respiratory distress and refractory hypoxia is intubation and ventilation. Adjunct supportive care treatments that may improve survival include: high levels of PEEP, prone position and neuromuscular blockades . However, for similarly ill patients in respiratory distress despite these measures, we recommend transfer to a facility with ECMO capabilities.…”

“…Persistent hypoxemia is a typical symptom of ARDS. Ventilations are always needed to correct hypoxemia [3,4] To avoid or reduce pulmonary morbidity, the low tidal volume ventilation is often applied [5,6]. The ventilation strategy will certainly result in hypercapnia, which is called "permissive hypercapnia" [7,8].…”
