- ARDS is a condition that occurs in post-op patients who experience complications, often including sepsis
- Symptoms include bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and hypoxia, but no congestive heart failure
- Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is the main form of therapy for ARDS
- Care should be taken not to use excessive volume, as this can lead to barotrauma
- Sepsis must be treated at its source in order to effectively treat ARDS
- ECMO may become the new standard of care for ARDS refractory to PEEP
- In contrast, infants with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia may experience developmental problems after being placed on ECMO
