Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

Today’s tip is about ARDS in ICU. ARDS also stands for lung failure in ICU and at the moment with COVID-19, ARDS seems to be everywhere because of the COVID-19 infections lead to ARDS or lung failure.

So what we see with clients at the moment that have loved ones in intensive care with COVID-19 and ARDS or lung failure, the chest x-rays often show or bronchoscopies often show that the lungs are scarred with ARDS and lung failure and that often diminishes chances to wean off the ventilator. It often leads to prolonged stays in ICU. It leads to being resistant to therapy. It leads to tracheostomies and it therefore often leads to long-term ventilation in ICU or outside of ICU.

In order to avoid that, one way to get the lungs to potentially heal quicker is, that instead of the prone position, which is often the first-line treatment for ARDS or lung failure, prone position is basically when you put a patient on their tummy, head down to drain fluids, to increase perfusion of the lungs, to make sure that oxygen/carbon dioxide can be exchanged in the lungs and so a ventilated patient can stay alive with ARDS or lung failure.
