A Rare Case of ARDS Caused by Bupropion Inhalation and Treated with Noninvasive Ventilation

Abstract EN

Acute respiratory distress syndrome, characterized by the Berlin criteria, is associated with a high mortality rate.

Its treatment includes addressing the underlying etiology, general supportive measures, and achievement of effective oxygenation.

New key data indicates that in a subset of patients, noninvasive ventilation techniques can be a therapeutic and equivalent alternative to traditional invasive ventilation.

We present a rare case of ARDS triggered by nasal bupropion inhalation and effectively treated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation resulting in complete resolution.
