I will present the literature supporting or refuting potential therapies for the rescue, as well as more importantly, the prevention of ARDS. Actual cases from my recent clinical interactions will also be used to help illustrate certain concepts.

There are two current protective ventilation strategies for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS 1) The Low Tidal Volume Protects the Lung Approach designed to prevent overdistension of normal tissue, and 2) The Open Lung Approach designed to rapidly recruit (seconds or minutes) all of the collapsed tissue. Unfortunately, these strategies have not reduced ARDS-related mortality. This lecture will discuss a novel Stabilize the Lung Approach designed to stabilize the lung rapidly, minimizing atelectrauma and loss of end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and then gradually reopen (hours or days) the collapsed tissue. Stabilizing the Lung Approach would be a paradigm shift in the protective mechanical ventilation of the patient with ARDS.

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) have an incidence of approximately 12, 000 new cases per year, primarily among young adults, resulting in significant disability and healthcare costs. Many of these injuries, depending on their level, will impact the pulmonary system to some degree. A subset of persons with SCI will require chronic mechanical ventilation and the attendant complications such as pneumonia, diaphragm disuse syndrome, and inability to liberate from the ventilator. This presentation will focus on the mechanism of injury, pulmonary dysfunction, and ventilatory strategies and adjuncts for improving patient outcomes. The target audience is all healthcare providers involved in the acute or chronic care of spinal cord-injured patients.
