Brief Summary: Acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS is a severe lung condition with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in medical care It involves an intense inflammatory response in the lungs leading to endothelial damage increased capillary permeability and fluid accumulation causing hypoxemia and respiratory failure ARDS can result from various pulmonary and non-pulmonary triggers

The 2012 Berlin criteria are widely used to diagnose ARDS based on clinical signs blood gas analysis and chest imaging The Lung Injury Prediction Score LIPS is used in emergency departments to assess the risk of ARDS with scores of 4 or higher indicating a significant risk Oxygenation impairment particularly measured by the SF ratio oxygen saturation to inspired oxygen is a strong predictor of ARDS Common causes of death include severe hypoxemia sepsis organ failure and respiratory complications

ARDS treatment emphasizes supportive care including lung-protective ventilation prone positioning and conservative fluid management Pharmacological approaches have shown mixed results with treatments like statins surfactants anticoagulants and β2-agonists eg salbutamol offering inconsistent benefits

Corticosteroids have demonstrated improvements in oxygenation in conditions that progress to ARDS Inhaled corticosteroids are being explored to minimize systemic side effects by targeting the lungs directly Ipratropium bromide an inhaled bronchodilator may also offer therapeutic benefits by reducing lung inflammation and pulmonary edema However it carries risks such as dry mouth blurred vision and potential cardiovascular side effects

This double-blinded randomized controlled trial examines the effectiveness of early inhaled corticosteroids and ipratropium in reducing the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS and its complications in high-risk patients Participants will be administered aerosolized budesonide and ipratropium or a placebo every eight hours for five days The primary outcome is the change in the oxygen saturation to inspired oxygen fraction ratio SF after five days assessing pulmonary oxygenation Secondary outcomes include the incidence of ARDS need for mechanical ventilation length of hospital stay and mortality The study aims to evaluate whether early inhaled therapy can effectively prevent or alleviate ARDS given the limited availability of pharmacological treatments for the condition
Detailed Description: ARDS is a severe form of lung injury that continues to present high morbidity and mortality rates despite progress in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches It is characterized by an intense inflammatory response in the lungs leading to damage to the pulmonary endothelial and epithelial layers increased permeability and the development of pulmonary edema These changes result in severe hypoxemia and acute respiratory failure ARDS can be triggered by various factors including pulmonary and non-pulmonary injuries

Diagnosing ARDS is challenging due to the lack of a single definitive test The Berlin criteria which encompass clinical presentation arterial blood gas analysis PF ratio and chest imaging are widely utilized The Lung Injury Prediction Score LIPS assists in evaluating ARDS risk with a score of 4 or higher indicating increased likelihood

Major causes of mortality in ARDS include persistent hypoxemia sepsis multiple organ failure and respiratory failure The management of ARDS primarily focuses on supportive care with the goal of mitigating lung injury by addressing underlying causes Key strategies include employing lung-protective ventilation prone positioning and conservative fluid management Pharmacologic treatments for ARDS have generally been unsuccessful in improving survival rates Trials of therapies such as statins aspirin and vitamin D supplementation have not shown significant improvements in ARDS outcomes β2-agonists have been investigated for their potential to enhance alveolar fluid clearance but results have been inconsistent

Corticosteroids have shown potential in improving oxygenation and histologic lung injury in ARDS To maximize benefits while minimizing risks corticosteroids should be administered within the first 14 days of ARDS diagnosis Inhaled corticosteroids and ipratropium bromide are being explored as treatments for ARDS due to their targeted action on the respiratory system and reduced systemic side effects Inhaled budesonide has shown potential in improving lung function and cytokine profiles Ipratropium bromide a short-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator helps relax smooth muscles in the respiratory tract and is used in mechanically ventilated patients

This study aims to assess the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids and ipratropium bromide in combination with standard care in improving oxygenation reducing ARDS incidence minimizing the need for mechanical ventilation shortening hospital stays and lowering mortality rates The potential benefits of these therapies in the prevention and management of ARDS are under investigation

This study was structured as a double-blind randomized clinical trial It will be conducted in the ICU of a governmental hospital Eligible participants are adults aged 18 years or older admitted through the emergency department All participants will have least one risk factor for ARDS a Lung Injury Prediction Score LIPS of 4 or more Exclusion criteria includes pregnant patients those unable to provide consent within 12 hours of hospital admission or individuals with contraindications to corticosteroids or ipratropium patients who had used inhaled corticosteroids or muscarinic antagonists within the past 7 days had ARDS onset prior to enrollment or required mechanical ventilation before admission Those with an expected hospital stay of less than 48 hours poor prognosis or admitted for palliative care will not be included in the trial Participants will be randomized in a 11 ratio within 12 hours of presentation This trial was approved by the BUC-Institutional Ethical Committee No BUC-IACUC-240318-80 All patients agree to participation will sign a participation consent
