ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)

ARDS is a severe, life-threatening condition where fluid builds up in the lungs, making breathing extremely difficult. It is commonly caused by pneumonia, sepsis, trauma, or COVID-19. Patients with ARDS require immediate intensive care and mechanical ventilation. Dr Apoorv Krishna, with over 13 years of critical care experience, specializes in managing ARDS in ICU settings. He uses evidence-based protocols including lung-protective ventilation, fluid management, sedation strategies, and sometimes advanced therapies like prone ventilation or ECMO. Timely intervention is critical to improve survival and lung recovery. Dr Apoorv Krishna’s expertise in managing complex critical cases ensures comprehensive support and close monitoring throughout the recovery process, with a strong focus on rehabilitation post-ICU.
