where she created a number of drawings for those who donated to her efforts. Abbi also has an exhibition of her work. Abbi is obviously an inspriation!

This video was created generously by Accent Media, in PA, after Chad, the creative director, lost his beloved mother to ARDS. Chad wanted to do something to make a difference and his partners who witnessed the devastation of ARDS, were happy to help. Accept Media donated their time and expertise. Those in the video likewise did so because ARDS awareness is our passion. For additional info go to Ardsusa.org, call 312-749-7079 or contact me. I hope that you will find this to be informative and let others know about this horrific syndrome.

In talking about the swine flu, CBS’s Morning Show utilized the chest films from ARDS Foundation (x-ray progression) that illustrates the speed within which the lungs shut down in ARDS. When someone gets critically ill from swine flu, ends up on a ventilator, it is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that is what makes that patient so ill, or, sadly, may be what would kill that same patient. It is just like the SARS epidemic; SARS was the precipitating cause to ARDS just like this flu is the precipitating cause to ARDS.
The films are a wonderful illustration to the layman as to how quickly ARDS strikes, shuts down the lungs, and can kill.

ARDS Foundation joined the Respiratory Health ociation and many other lung organizations in Chicago for their second annual Hike for Lung Health. The event helped to raise awareness and funds for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) a syndrome that almost 200,000 Americans are diagnosed with and almost half of them do not survive.

To be sure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a very serious issue, but we still had a lot of fun working on this amazing video project that we hope will help to raise awareness, education, and inform. And as soon as the finished project is complete, we will post that!

Overview:
Each year, about four million people in the United States are admitted to intensive care units with complex medical problems that require the highest level of care. This program covers medical advances in critical care treatment that are enabling people to survive serious health challenges. Topics include including the latest thinking about ventilator support as well treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Part One:
What is intensive care?
Conditions that may require critical care
Features of a Medical Intensive Care Unit
Role of ventilators
New thinking on ventilator use and oxygen
Recovery period following intensive care
Part Two:
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
ARDS causes
ARDS diagnosis
ARDS treatments

Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian
On Monday, November 6, 2006 at 2 PM EST, Join experts from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian for a webcast discussion about CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). These experts will review aspects of the procedure, take questions from participants and discuss opportunities for working with your hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Units to share best practices.
Bubble CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a low-tech, labor-intensive therapy performed on newborns with Respiratory Distress Syndrome to prevent Chronic Lung Disease. Pressurized oxygen is delivered through prongs in the baby’s nose allowing continuous lung inflation. With Bubble CPAP, babies breathe with istance as opposed to a machine breathing for them. Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive technique unlike alternatives (i.e. surfactant and ventilators, both require intubation.)
