Abstract

Objective: To assess certain factors related to mortality in patients with progressive acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to pneumonia in the intensive care unit (ICU). Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 49 patients diagnosed with progressive ARDS due to pneumonia at the Emergency Center A9 - Bach Mai Hospital from August 2018 to August 2022. Results: Out of a total of 49 patients, 67.4% (33/49) were male with a mean age of 62.0 (Q1 - Q2: 48.5 - 72.5) years. Upon admission, the majority of patients exhibited moderate (40.8%; 20/49) to severe (46.9%; 23/49) hypoxemia according to the Berlin criteria, and respiratory viruses (36.7%; 18/49) were the most common cause of pneumonia, with H1N1 virus (29.2%; 14/48) being the highest proportion. Conclusion: Blood tests and biochemical tests in ARDS pneumonia to reflect organ damage and systemic inflammatory response are non-specific in diagnosis. Arterial blood gas analysis is an important test in the diagnosis and monitoring of ARDS patients
