ARDS ( Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ) & Ventilator Care in Solapur

Breathing is life — and when the lungs fail, timely critical care can save it.

At Yashodhara Super Speciality Hospital, Solapur, Dr Vinod Ban, an expert Intensivist and Pulmonary Critical Care Specialist, provides comprehensive management for ARDS and respiratory failure patients needing advanced ventilator support.

What Is ARDS?

ARDS is a life-threatening lung condition where fluid fills the air sacs, making oxygen exchange difficult. It may develop after pneumonia, sepsis, trauma, or COVID-19 infection. Without specialized ICU care, ARDS can progress rapidly to respiratory failure.

Common Causes of ARDS

  • Severe lung infections (pneumonia, COVID-19)
  • Sepsis and shock
  • Pancreatitis or massive transfusion
  • Accidental aspiration of gastric contents
  • Trauma or multiple fractures

Symptoms

  • Sudden breathlessness
  • Low oxygen levels despite oxygen therapy
  • Rapid breathing and fatigue
  • Chest discomfort and cyanosis (bluish skin)
  • How Dr Vinod Ban Treats ARDS Patients
1. Immediate ICU Admission & Assessment

Early transfer to ICU with bedside lung ultrasound and arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis for accurate diagnosis.

2. Lung-Protective Ventilation Strategy
  • Low tidal volume mechanical ventilation
  • Optimal PEEP settings to keep alveoli open
  • Avoiding ventilator-induced lung injury
3. Prone Position Ventilation

Helps improve oxygen levels by enhancing lung expansion — a special technique Dr Ban used extensively during COVID ICU care.

4. Fluid & Hemodynamic Management

Precise fluid balance to prevent lung edema while maintaining circulation.

5. Sedation, Pain Control & Nutrition

Patient comfort and early nutrition support are vital to improve outcomes.

6. ECMO Coordination

In extreme cases where ventilation fails, Dr Ban coordinates with ECMO centers for extracorporeal oxygenation.
