respiratory distress syndrome Explanation: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of respiratory failure characterized by rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs.[1] Symptoms include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, and bluish skin coloration.[1] Among those who survive, a decreased quality of life is relatively common.[1] Causes may include sepsis, pancreatitis, trauma, pneumonia, and aspiration.[1] The underlying mechanism involves diffuse injury to cells which form the barrier of the microscopic air sacs of the lungs, surfactant dysfunction, activation of the immune system, and dysfunction of the body's regulation of blood clotting.[ Reference: http://www.artamedica.md/articles/22/07.pdf https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-61779-857-3_1 |
