Assessment Data
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is a
life-threatening lung condition. It is a form
of breathing failure that can occur in very
ill or severely injured people.
It is not a specific disease.
3. Respiratory Compromise
Interventions
Priority Problem #3 Interrelated Concept:
Impaired Oxygenation
Patient Priority Problem #1
Ineffective Gas Exchange as a result of lung
failure from other causations.
Negative Outcomes
(Complications to watch
for)end of shift.

Patient Education
Before intubation, I will teach patient of ventilator and the reasons ventilation assistance may
be needed.
Teach the family or the patient about the effects of mechanical ventilation setting..
Teach family of patient about the importance of sedation, paralysis, and treatment of
Priority Problem # 2 Interrelated
Concept:
Impaired Gas Exchange
Positive Outcomes
1. Patient will show signs of adequate
oxygenation
2. Patient will how signs of effective gas exchange
3.Patient will show positive signs of good
ventilation
Patient Goal
1. Patient will keep O2 Sat of 90 or greater before
end of shift.
2. Patient will receive suctioning as needed for
increased secretions before the end of shift.
3.Patient will show signs of decreased secretions
after being proned by end of shift
