Resp failure physician education
Anyone have information to share on resp failure education for
physicians? Creating powerpoint. Pulmonologist recently joined our staff
and will give lecture on resp failure and pneumonia at end of month. I
am including CDI criteria for resp failure and using specificity in
diagnosis (acute, chronic, acute on chronic). I also included "clues" or
sign/symptoms and that mech ventilation is not required for this
diagnosis.
Appreciate any assitance, suggestions, shared info.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) - a form of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema that is a result of the nonspecific response of the lung to a variety of insults. ARDS is defined as respiratory failure indicated by a requirement for mechanical ventilation and PaO2/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio 200 or less in the appropriate clinical setting with one or more recognized risk factors. This presentation is accompanied by new, bilateral, diffuse, patchy or homogeneous pulmonary infiltrates on the chest radiograph, with no clinical evidence of heart failure, fluid overload, or chronic lung disease (pulmonary artery occlusion pressure
