Paciente femenino de 50 años de edad con síndrome de distres respiratorio por sepsis abdominal

The present clinical case refers to a year-old female patient who developed Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome as a result of abdominal sepsis. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is defined as pulmonary edema of non-cardiogenic origin since it can be caused by various factors including abdominal sepsis, since the infectious agent that lodged in the abdominal cavity migrates to the lungs thus producing a Acute respiratory distress syndrome. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a clinical manifestation that requires urgent admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute respiratory distress syndrome presents a clinical picture such as respiratory distress, dyspnea accompanied by rapid and deep breathing, it can be observed intercostal retraction, cyanosis, edema in the patient's lower limbs. In addition, it can be seen on the radiograph infiltrated with air bronchogram, on blood gas a respiratory acidosis accompanied by hypoxemia. Abdominal sepsis is a common situation of admission to the intensive care unit and is often of surgical resolution due to the associated pathological processes. An important fact in survival is the early treatment of possible factors that can complicate the picture and lead the patient to death. The primary goal of respiratory distress syndrome treatment is to maintain oxygenation and correct the cause of the injury that caused the acute lung injury.
