Adult respiratory distress syndrome, presenting as rapid respiratory decompensation in the setting of preeclampsia at 36 weeks of gestation, was managed by early hemodynamic monitoring with pulmonary artery catheterization. With confirmation of the diagnosis of preeclampsia the patient was delivered promptly; improvement of her respiratory failure was observed within 48 hours. Consideration of adult respiratory distress syndrome in the setting of preeclampsia is discussed, with emphasis on early confirmation of the diagnosis and determination of the precise mechanisms of pulmonary edema.

ARDS patients require nursing care on all levels. Basic care such as turning and prevention of fatigue, as well as nursing care necessitated by mechanical ventilation and hemodynamic monitoring, is needed. Because nurses are the only professionals at the bedside around the clock, we are in the unique position to make a difference for ARDS patients. There is no cure yet for ARDS; therefore, appropriate supportive nursing care is of paramount importance.
