| description | Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an acute inflammatory pulmonary injury in which marked
oedema of the lungs causing progressive impairment of gas exchange, atelectasis, and decreased lung compliance.
Over the years, several innovative methods to control the lung injury had been studied. Improvement in ventilation
strategy has resulted in reduce mortality is ARDS patients. Meanwhile, adjunctive therapies such as inhaled nitric
oxide, exogenous surfactant administration, patient positioning and immune-nutrition are other methods which may
further improve the outcome of this condition. This case illustrates the use of multiple modalities of treatment which
were useful in infant with this condition and a review of these treatment modalities. |
