Article Synopsis
- Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can face complications from both the disease and the treatments, like adalimumab, which targets TNFα.
- While acute lung injury is a potential risk of anti-TNFα medications, it's rare with adalimumab.
- This case highlights a patient who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome due to adalimumab, emphasizing the need for clinicians to recognize and manage this complication quickly to improve patient outcomes.
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO) monitoring is useful in many situations. However, ETCO monitoring is unreliable in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to widespread lung inflammation. In our study, we attempt to establish the gradient between the arterial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO) and ETCO in patients with ARDS, which we defined as the PaETCO gradient.
