Impact of bronchial asthma on the occurrence of complications in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and asthma are severe lung problems.This study looked at whether having asthma makes it more likely for someone with ARDS to have complications.It focused particularly on the development of acute respiratory failure.Based on a review of literature from January 2011 to April 2025, including clinical studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews, researchers found that asthma modifies the course of ARDS by increasing the risk of complications such as dynamic hyperinflation-related lung injury, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, thromboembolic events, pneumothorax, and nosocomial infections.At the same time, patients with asthma showed a decreased incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) compared to those without this comorbidity.The study also discusses the chronic consequences of ARDS in patients with asthma, such as pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular failure, pulmonary fibrosis, and neurological disorders.
