  1. ARDS in Trauma

  2. 30 y/o male(note eyes covered to protect identity)

  3. 2 Dudes(Probably these two)

  4. H&P • CC: s/p MVA • HPI: pt 30y/o male in comes to the ED after an MVA with multiple injuries • PMHx/PSHx: insignificant • Meds: none • Allergies: none

  5. Physcical Exam • BP 110/85, HR 115, RR 32 • Neuro: in C-collar, GCS 10 (E3V3M4) • CVS: tachycardic, • Resp/chest: dyspnea, tachypneic, tenderness on right chest, CTA bilat, decreased inspiratory excursion • ABD: nondistended, soft, tender in right upper quadrant • EXT: 18g IV in left AC and 16g IV right AC, moves all 4 ext, deformity of left thigh, tender to palpation, pulses intact

  6. Glasgow Coma Scale • Eyes spontaneous, command, pain, none • Verbal oriented, confused, inappropriate, inconprehensible, none • Motor obeys, localizes, withdraws, flex, extension, none

  7. Physcical Exam • BP 110/85, HR 115, RR 32 • Neuro: in C-collar, GCS 10 (E3V3M4) • CVS: tachycardic, • Resp/chest: dyspnea, tachypneic, tenderness on right chest, CTA bilat, decreased inspiratory excursion • ABD: nondistended, soft, tender in right upper quadrant • EXT: 18g IV in left AC and 16g IV right AC, moves all 4 ext, deformity of left thigh, tender to palpation, pulses intact

  8. Injury Survey • Small subdural hematoma over right frontal lobe • Right sided rib fractures 5-8 • Lung contusion • Liver contusion • Left femur fracture

  9. Operating Room • Ventilator 10 cc/kg, 10 Resp/min • Isoflurane • Arterial line and introducer • Four units packed red blood cells • Conservative mx for liver • Off to SICU for continued mx

  10. All in a days work

  11. Lung Injury • Range of entities • Local not clinically significant • Unable to exchange gases across mebranes and participate in respiration • Somewhere in between

  12. Inflammation • Blunt injury • Neutrophiles • Cytokines • Macrophages • Complement Cascade • Coagulation Cascade

  13. Normal Lung Tissue

  14. Exudative Phase • Starts early. • Interstitial and alveolar edema • Hyaline membrane formation • Endothelial cell damage • Type I cell necrosis • Infiltration with neutrophiles

  15. Diffuse Alvolar Damage

  16. Proliferation Phase • Type II cells increase in number • Type II cells can become Type I cells

  17. Fibrotic Stage • Fibroblasts • Myofibroblasts • Collagenation • Arteriolar hypertrophy • Obliteration of pulmonary vasculature

  18. Late Diffuse Alveolar Damage

  19. Neutrophiles • Already there… • Secrete toxins… • Connected for activation… • Protected from deactivation… • Location, Location, Location…

  20. Map to the Neighborhood

  21. Macrophages • Killing machines • Keep going and going and going… • Complement • IL-1, -6, -8 • TNF • Impaired judgment?

  22. Endothelium • Express cytokines • Secrete vasoactive substance • Procoagulant • Metabolically active

  23. Phospholipids • On all cells • Great cellular messenger • Makes more cellular messengers • Arachadonic acid • Thromboxane • Prostacylin • PAF

  24. Pulmonary Edema • Hydrostatic pressure • Oncotic pressure • Lymph system • Increase distance from capillary lumen to alveolar lumen • Pulmonary hypertension • Hypoxemia • Lung compliance decreases

  25. Diffuse Alveolar Infultrates

  26. Patchy Densities

  27. Phase 1 • Dyspnea • Tachypnea • Normal CXR • Hypoxemia • Hypocarbia • Neutrophiles

  28. Phase 2 • Changes on CXR • Changes on PE • Pulmonary Hypertension • Change in pulmonary mechanics • Microscopic lung changes/damage

  29. Phase 3 • Worse CXR • Worse PE • Worse cardiopulmonary mechanics • Decreased hemoglobin oxygen extraction • Occlusion of vessels

  30. Phase 4 • Diffuse infiltrates with superimposed pneumonia • Sepsis • MOF • More lung impairment • Cellular changes in the lung

  31. Diagnosis of ARDS • Diffuse alveolar infiltrates on CXR • Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema • PaO2/FiO2 ratio <200 • 12-39% Trauma Population • Mortality 25-30%

  32. Shock Gastric aspiration Pulmonary contusion Near-drowning Fractures Smoke inhalation Multiple transfusions Fat embolism Pneumonia Sepsis Injury severity score > 16 Blunt injury Trauma score < 13 Surgery to head +/- admission lactate, pH, base deficit, serum bicarbonate Disseminated intravascular coagulation Risk Factors

  33. Injury Severity Score • Head and Neck • Face • Chest • Abdomen • Extremity • External

  34. Trauma Score • Glasgow Coma Scale • Systolic Blood Pressure • Respiratory Rate

  35. Strategy • Spontaneous respiration • Noninvasive positive pressure • Beware oxygen toxicity • Fluid balance • Treat underlying causes

  36. Ventilator Strategies • High PEEP early – 16 cm H2O • Watch plateau pressure <35 cm H2O • Low tidal volume – 6-8 cc/kg • Be careful with manual ventilation • Hypercapnia • Pressure controlled ventilation

  37. For Longer Term Care • Treat underlying infections • Proning • ECMO • Trach ‘em early • NO! • Steroids?
