Mechanical Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
摘要
A 25-year-old female patient presented with fever, chills, and vomiting. The following day, she noticed increased difficulty in breathing. Extensive bilateral infiltrates were seen on the chest X-ray, and she needed supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation at more than 90%. Echocardiography showed normal cardiac function. She was getting progressively fatigued and increasingly drowsy and was intubated.
