Fоr questiоns 82-90, pleаse begin with this review оf the in-clаss ARDS cаse study. Then answer questions 82-90 in regard to this patient. The patient is a 32-year-old male who suffered extensive traumatic injuries in an MVA. The patient’s condition declined after surgery to stabilize him, and he failed NIV and other therapies approximately 24 hours after admission. His CXR revealed diffuse, bilateral opacities with ground glass appearance. He was intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation and diagnosed with ARDS. His ABG immediately prior to intubation was pH 7.31; PaCO2; 48 mmHg; PaO2 31 mmHg; HCO3 22 mEq/L; SaO2 69% on 100% FiO2 and PEEP of 8. According to the Berlin definition, which of the following combinations best meet the definition of ARDS for this patient? CXR w/ ground glass bilateral opacities; absence of pleural effusions/atelectasis/nodules CXR with bilateral opacities; presence of malignant pleural effusions P/F ratio less than 100 mmHg P/F ratio greater than 300 mmHg Refractory hypoxemia due to fluid overload Refractory hypoxemia following MVA
