Managing Stress in a patient with Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison’s) is paramount,
because if the Adrenal glands are stressed further it could result in Addisonian Crisis.
Addison’s: Remember BP is the most Important assessment parameter, as it causes Severe
Hypotension. Addison’s: (need to "add" hormone): Hypoglycemia, Dark pigmentation, Decr.
Resistance to Stress, fractures,Alopecia, Weight Loss, GI distress. Vitiligo. Mood swings (Normal)

Addisonian Crisis: Hypoglycemia, Confusion, n/v, Abd Pain, Extreme Weakness, Dehydration,
Decr. BP.
Cushings: (have extra "Cushion" of Hormones): Hyperglycemia, prone to Infection,
Muscle Wasting,Weakness, Edema, HTN, Hirsutism, Moonfaced/Buffalo Hump

Cortisol-secretingAdrenal Tumor.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS):
The 1st Sign is Incr. Respirations. Later comes Dyspnea, Retractions, Air Hunger,
Cyanosis.Cardinal sign is Hypoxemia (Low O2 level in tissues).
Refractory Hypoxemia is the hallmark of ARDS, a progressive form of acute respiratory failure
that has a highMortality rate. It can develop following a Pulmonary Insult (eg, aspiration,
pneumonia, toxic inhalation) or nonpulmonary insult (eg, sepsis, multiple blood transfusions,
trauma) to the Lung.
The Inability to improve Oxygenation With Incr. in O2 concentration.
The insult triggers a Massive Inflammatory response that causes the lung tissue to release
inflammatory mediators (leukotrienes, proteases) that cause damage to the alveolar-capillary
(A-C) membrane. As a result of
