What happens when the lungs become fibrotic?

decreased compliance.
impairs gas exchange.
pulmonary HTN.
increased CO2.
What is the diagnosis criteria for ARDS? they use criteria because it's a syndrome, not
a disease, there is no lab values or diagnostic markers, it's a process of exclusion. 5

–Refractory hypoxemia.
–Chest x-ray with new bilateral infiltrates.
–non cardiac pulmonary edema.
–A predisposing condition for ARDS.
, –occurs within 48 hours of clinical manifestations after primary problem.
With further decompensation, what does mechanical ventilation provide?
Give this one a try later!
It provides both oxygen and PEEP [positive end expiratory pressure].
Steps [patho] of ARDS is? 6

-acute lung injury occurs.
-exaggerated inflammatory response stimulated.
-Damage of alveolar-capillary membrane.
-Damage of surfactant-producing cells causing interstitial/alveolar edema.
-Atelectasis; decreases compliance, and impaires gas exchange.
-Fibrosis causes remodeling of the lung.
