Abstract

At various stages of treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the key to success in managing
these patients in an adequately selected parameters and ventilation mode, as well as “cleanliness” (patency)
of the airways. The article presents a clinical observation of a patient with ARDS on the background of acute
cerebral insufficiency. In the complex treatment of ARDS, vibroacoustic therapy was used. The high intensity
of the action of each emitter with an increased and time-tested safety profile, “floating frequency”, harmonic
oscillations and resonance effect, allowed improving the drainage function of the lungs and recruiting the
lungs without affecting intracranial pressure. In this regard, the use of vibroacoustic therapy is of great
interest. The article describes the clinical course of the disease and the dynamics of resolution of ARDS. After
the sessions of vibroacoustic therapy, the patient showed a positive improvement in respiratory dynamics.
All this undoubtedly affected the outcome in this patient. The patient was transferred to CPAP mode after 7
days, and after 2 days, he was finally removed from mechanical ventilation.
