Overview
Secondary prevention of ARDS involves aggressive treatment of the underlying cause and the early application of noninvasive methods of oxygenation to slow or prevent the worsening of ARDS and potentially reduce the need for [[tracheal intubation}intubation]] and mechanical ventilation.
Secondary Prevention
The most effective secondary preventions strategy in ARDS is early and aggressive treatment of the underlying cause. In addition to treating the underlying cause, there have been several studies examining the utility of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) as a means of improving oxygenation and reducing the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation. These methods are discussed in detail in the subchapter on Acute respiratory distress syndrome mechanical ventilation#Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation|mechanical ventilation strategies for ARDS]].
