Overview

Clinical review reveals multi-hit pathophysiology and multimodal supportive strategies for acute respiratory distress syndrome in trauma patients, highlighting the need for individualized care.

Key Points

To synthesize current understanding of the multi-hit pathophysiology, diagnostic stratification, and physiology-driven management of acute respiratory distress syndrome in trauma patients.
Evaluated pathophysiological models connecting primary tissue trauma, systemic inflammation, and secondary clinical insults to alveolar-capillary barrier breakdown.
Assessed multimodal thoracic imaging strategies, including chest radiography, lung ultrasound, and computed tomography, for early ARDS risk assessment.
Reviewed evidence-based critical care interventions, spanning lung-protective mechanical ventilation, non-invasive support, hemodynamic titration, and neurotrauma management.
Trauma-associated ARDS develops via a multi-hit pathway in which primary tissue damage and systemic inflammation are amplified by secondary insults including transfusions, infection, and fat embolism.
Multimodal imaging paired with clinical severity scores enables early identification, while lung-protective ventilation and tailored non-invasive respiratory strategies form the cornerstone of supportive management.
Concomitant traumatic brain injury and systemic hypothermia require nuanced, personalized ventilatory and hemodynamic management to balance competing cerebral and pulmonary physiological priorities.
