Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)is characterized by severe hypoxemia and decreased respiratory system compliance.The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)is a life-threatening complication of various types of lung injury.It is acute in onset and characterized by arterial hypoxemia resistant to oxygen therapy alone and diffuse radiological infiltrates in the absence of clinical evidence of left atrial hypertension.Recent guidelines indicate NMBAs are typically used to facilitate intubation and compliance with mechanical ventilation and to manage head trauma and tetanus indicating that neuromuscular blocking agents are appropriate for facilitating mechanical ventilation when sedation alone is inadequate,most notably in patients with severe gas-exchange impairments. |
