Abstract
Support for Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in many ways represents the summation of all intensive care unit nutrition modalities. Basic tenets of management are based on those established for the general population of mechanically ventilated patients. As a marker of critical illness however, patients with ALI/ARDS suffer from other organ dysfunctions that require advanced support. Specific issues to be considered in this population include carbon dioxide production, prevention of aspiration, and modulation of the inflammatory response. These particular areas, with special attention paid to the role of lipids in ALI/ARDS, will be reviewed.
