Adult respiratory distress syndrome - what does this mean
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ards) is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the lungs become severely inflamed due to an infection, injury, or other medical condition. this inflammation causes fluid to leak into the air sacs of the lungs, which prevents oxygen from entering the bloodstream and causes difficulty breathing. ards can be caused by a variety of factors, including severe infection, trauma, burns, sepsis, and other medical conditions.
What happens during the disease - adult respiratory distress syndrome
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ards) is a life-threatening condition caused by an overwhelming systemic inflammatory response to a variety of triggering events such as infection, trauma, aspiration, or sepsis. this inflammatory response leads to damage of the alveolar-capillary membrane, resulting in decreased lung compliance, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and hypoxemia. this leads to a decrease in oxygen delivery to the tissues, and the accumulation of fluid in the alveoli, leading to further hypoxemia and respiratory failure.
