Wasserott’s

Once acute hypoxic respiratory failure (AHRF) is diagnosed, the cause must be determined. Which of the
following is a frequent cause of high-pressure AHRF in critically ill patients?

A.

Alveolar hemorrhage after bone marrow transplantation

B.

Alveolar hemorrhage in patients with connective tissue disease

D.

Pneumonia

Quiz: Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (AHRF, ARDS)

Question 2 of 3

In patients with ARDS, death is most often caused by which of the following?

A.

Pneumonia

B.

Multiorgan failure

C.
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

D.

Ventilatory failure

Explanation

Answer: B: Multiorgan failure. Most often in patients with ARDS, death is not caused by respiratory
dysfunction but by sepsis and multiorgan failure. However, mortality remains very high (> 40%) for
patients with severe ARDS. Persistence of neutrophils and high cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage
fluid predict a poor prognosis.

Quiz: Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (AHRF, ARDS)

Question 3 of 3 Review Question

You're right!

A.

Giving less fluid

(chosen by 13% of respondents)

B.

Using pressure control ventilation

(chosen by 7% of respondents)

C.

Putting the patient in a prone position

(chosen by 22% of respondents)

D.

Using high tidal volumes

(chosen by 58% of respondents)

Explanation

Answer: D: Use of high tidal volumes. Conventional mechanical ventilation in ARDS previously focused
on normalizing ABG values. It is now clear that ventilating with lower tidal volumes reduces mortality.
Accordingly, in most patients, tidal volume should be set at 6 mL/kg ideal body weight. This setting
necessitates an increase in respiratory rate, even up to 35/min, to produce sufficient alveolar ventilation
to allow for adequate CO2 removal. Choices A, B, and C are used to treat patients with ARDS.
