STUDY OBJECTIVES To investigate the long-term outcome of lung function in survivors of severe ARDS after modern treatment strategies including lung protective mechanical ventilation and prone positioning maneuvers. DESIGN Follow-up cohort study. SETTING University hospital pulmonary division and level 1 trauma center. PATIENTS Sixteen survivors of severe ARDS (from 1992 to 1994) with a lung injury score > or = 2.5. MEASUREMENTS The follow-up study (from 1995 to 1996) included interview…

1-Year Pulmonary Function and Health Status in Survivors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
TLDR
One year after recovery from SARS, persistent pulmonary function impairment was found in about one third of patients and the health status of SARS survivors was also significantly worse compared with the healthy population.
The 1-Year Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome on Pulmonary Function, Exercise Capacity, and Quality of Life in a Cohort of Survivors
TLDR
Exercise capacity and health status of SARS survivors were remarkably lower than those of a normal population, and there was impairment of HRQoL at 12 months.
Follow-up assessment of pulmonary functions in mechanically ventilated children after discharge from pediatric intensive care unit: A developing country perspective
TLDR
Pediatric mechanically ventilated patients developed restrictive pulmonary defects after discharge that gradually improved over time and there is a need for longer follow-up studies to assess the lung function and clinical condition postdischarge.
Pulmonary function and exercise capacity in survivors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
TLDR
Pulmonary function defects were detected in half of the recovered severe acute respiratory syndrome patients 3 months after hospital discharge, but the impairment was mild in almost all cases.
Pulmonary function and exercise capacity in survivors of severe acute respiratory syndrome
TLDR
Pulmonary function defects were detected in half of the recovered severe acute respiratory syndrome patients 3 months after hospital discharge, but the impairment was mild in almost all cases.
Correlation of High-Resolution CT, Symptoms, and Pulmonary Function in Patients During Recovery From Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
TLDR
High-resolution CT findings correlate well with functional studies and clinical symptoms during recovery from SARS, and longer-term follow-up studies in a larger cohort of patients should be performed.
Quality of life, pulmonary function, and tomographic scan abnormalities after ARDS.
TLDR
Survivors of ARDS after 6 months had a poorer HRQL than the healthy population and showed mild radiographic and functional involvement, mainly because of lower scores in the dimensions related to mobility, energy, and social isolation.
Impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on pulmonary function, functional capacity and quality of life in a cohort of survivors
TLDR
The exercise capacity and health status of SARS survivors was considerably lower than that of a normal population at 6 months and the functional disability appears out of proportion to the degree of lung function impairment and may be related to additional factors such as muscle deconditioning and steroid myopathy.
Assessment of 1-year Outcomes in Survivors of Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation or Mechanical Ventilation: A Prospective Observational Study
TLDR
One-year posthospital discharge, severe ARDS survivors receiving ECMO or MV demonstrated comparable outcomes and reduced HRQoL compared with the general population, and Pulmonary function and lung morphology revealed sufficient recovery with minor lung impairment.

Prone postioning and low-volume pressure-limited ventilation improve survival in patients with severe ARDS.
TLDR
It is assumed that the low mortality in patients with severe ARDS might be due mainly to low-volume pressure-limited ventilation and prone positioning, which seems to allow successful treatment for patients withsevere ARDS.
Pulmonary function and health-related quality of life in a sample of long-term survivors of the acute respiratory distress syndrome
TLDR
Long-term survivors of ARDS have a significant reduction in HRQL and the presence of multiple PF impairments is associated with maximal decrements in HRQ, according to a follow-up cohort analysis.
[Pulmonary function one year after extracorporeal lung assist. A long-term follow-up of patients with acute adult respiratory distress syndrome].
TLDR
Even though ARDS did not induce obstructive changes, the diminished diffusion capacity and the slightly reduced expiratory peak flow in 25-75% of FVC (FEF 25- 75) indicates slight changes in the small airways.
Recovery of function in survivors of the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
TLDR
Pulmonary function and self-perceived health scores improved considerably in the first 3 mo after extubation, with only slight additional improvement at 6 mo, but no further changes were evident at 1 yr.
Predicting the presence of pulmonary function impairment in adult respiratory distress syndrome survivors.
TLDR
It is concluded that a score based upon duration of positive pressure ventilation and lowest static thoracic compliance predicts impaired pulmonary function more than 1 year after ARDS.
Pulmonary function following the adult respiratory distress syndrome.
TLDR
No correlation could be established between the severity of the adult respiratory distress syndrome, therapy with mechanically assisted ventilation, the duration of exposure to supplemental oxygen, the fractional concentration of oxygen in the inspired gas, and the degree of residual functional defect.

TLDR
There is good evidence that the recovery pattern is not influenced by the illness underlying ARDS, and at present the repair mechanisms are scarcely influenced by therapeutic measures.
Long-term physiologic consequences of the adult respiratory distress syndrome.
TLDR
Six survivors of the adult respiratory distress syndrome were studied and found minor and inconsistent abnormalities in the lung volumes, flow rates, single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon dioxide, and arterial blood gas levels at rest and during exercise.
Follow-up of pulmonary function after "shock lung".
TLDR
In three patients having recovered from "shock lung", there is a progressive normalization of lung volumes and lung compliance, whereas the pulmonary diffusing capacity improves but without attaining predicted levels, and in the fourth patient, a delayed reduction of total lung capacity, lung compliance and diffusion capacity occurred.
Pulmonary function and exercise gas exchange in survivors of adult respiratory distress syndrome.
TLDR
It is concluded that lung mechanics return to predicted normal values within 4 to 6 months after ARDS, but abnormalities of pulmonary gas exchange persist and pulmonary vascular obstruction does not appear to explain persistent abnormalities of gas exchange.
