Chapter 11 ARDS INTRODUCTION Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - lung inflammation seen at the level of the alveolar capillary membrane with increased vascular permeability. ARDS results in: bilateral pulmonary edema and atelectasis despite no evidence of left heart failure (e.g.‚ normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). ARDS is present when the ALI results in such severe hypoxia that at the PaO2/FIO2 ratio is 200 mm Hg or less. Approximately 10% to 15% of intensive care
