Acute respiratory distress syndrome

Description

Acute respiratory distress syndrome ("ARDS") is a life-threatening inflammation with oedema in the lungs which leads to severe respiratory failure. ARDS is a clinical syndrome of lung injury with hypoxic respiratory failure caused by intense pulmonary inflammation that develops after a severe physiologic insult.
