Pulmonary mechanical characteristics of children with acute respiratory distress syndrome / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

The etiology and pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are different.There are individual differences in the changes of pulmonary mechanics during the progress of the disease.The changes of compliance, pressure and volume are closely related to the etiology, severity and age.Correct use of lung protective ventilation strategy, reasonable adjustment of ventilator parameters and reduction of ventilator-associated lung injury are the key to improve the success rate of ARDS treatment.Therefore, we must pay more attention to the characteristics and changes of pulmonary mechanics in ARDS.
