PARDS with Dr. Nadir Yehya and the Cribsiders--Part 1 Diagnosis and Classification

Dr. Yehya is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine. After completing pediatrics training at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, he completed his pediatric critical care fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and joined the faculty after graduation in 2011. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care and Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and an attending physician in the pediatric intensive care unit at CHOP.

The Cribsiders is a pediatric medicine podcast composed of a national network of students, residents and clinician educators from across the country and multiple institutions. On the show we “curbside” the experts to deconstruct various topics in the world of medicine to provide listeners with clinical pearls, practice-changing knowledge and a weight-based dosing of fun.

Objectives for this series:
By the end of listening to this three-part series, learners should be able to:

1. Recall the diagnostic criteria for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). 
2. Recall many of different direct and indirect causes of PARDS.
3. Recall the methods used to stratify the severity of PARDS.
4. Recognize the limitations of P/F ratios and the clinical utility of instead using oxygenation index (OI).
5. Describe the rationale and limitations of adjunctive therapies for moderate to severe PARDS.
