Despite extensive research into this area in human medicine over the past 30 years, little is known about the exact pathogenesis of this complex syndrome. With the increase in veterinary critical care facilities and the greater number of owners who are willing to enter into extensive treatment of critically ill animals, there will also be an increase in the number of ALI/ARDS cases that are identified and treated. Therefore, it is essential for veterinarians not only to recognize the clinical signs of ALI/ARDS but also to know the risk factors that may predispose patients to developing these respiratory diseases. Knowledge of the complex pathophysiology as well as the pathogenesis is also required to anticipate changes in the animal’s condition. To date, treatment remains primarily symptomatic and is aimed at improving oxygenation. This article is intended to provide clinicians with a basic understanding of the risk factors, pathophysiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, and treatments that may help improve the survival of veterinary patients with ALI/ARDS. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), originally called adult respiratory distress syndrome, was first recognized as a clinical disorder in human intensive care patients by Ashbaugh and colleagues in 1967. It was defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by severe hypoxemia refractory to oxygen treatment with patchy bilateral alveolar infiltrates on chest radiographs and low pulmonary compliance. Estimates of prevalence in humans range from 1.5 to 75 per 100,000 patients; but most experts believe that the actual prevalence is about 5 to 7 per 100,000. Most of the disparity in mortality and prevalence studies has come from the varying definitions of ARDS over the past 30 years. In 1994, an American-European Consensus Committee on ARDS differentiated acute lung injury (ALI) from ARDS by establishing clinical diagnostic criteria for each condition. Differentiation is based on the ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fractional inspired oxygen (PaO2:FiO2). A value of less than 300 indicates ALI and less than 200 indicates ARDS. Consequently, all ALI cases do not result in ARDS, but all cases of ARDS will result from ALI. Despite being one of the most researched areas of human medicine in the past 20 years, little is known about the exact initiating causes and the best methods of treatment for ALI/ARDS. A single inciting event responsible for producing the clinical signs of ARDS has not been found. It appears more likely that a multitude of events occurs, and any of these can lead to the development of ALI/ARDS. This supposition would coincide with the multiple unrelated risk factors that can lead to the development of this clinical syndrome.
