A Case Report of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Complicating Influenza A/H1n1 Infection.
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
ARDS is characterized with bilateral parenchymal lung infiltrates on chest radiograph and PaO2 /FiO2 ratio < 200 resulting from causes other than acute left ventricular dysfunction. Inflammatory lung lesions may be induced by different disorders, with sepsis being the leading cause of ARDS. Influenza A/H1N1 infection seems to be responsible for the development of extremely severe type of ARDS with poor response to routine treatment. Despite great progress in the management of ARDS with novel agents and sophisticated techniques, including antimicrobial drugs, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, prostaglandins, nitric oxide, prostacyclin, exogenous surfactant administration and activated protein C, supportive treatment based mostly on advanced mechanical ventilation in the intensive care units seems to be the most important for the prognosis.
