II. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISEASE, INCIDENCE, RISK FACTORS & ETIOLOGY
ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), also known as Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, is a sudden, progressive form of respiratory failure characterized by severe dyspnea, refractory hypoxemia and diffuse bilateral infiltrates.
The syndrome was first described in 1967 and has been referred to by several terms: shock lung, wet lung, post-traumatic lung, congestive atelectasis, capillary leak syndrome and adult hyaline membrane disease.ARDS occurs when there is extensive inflammation in the lungs. It follows acute and massive lung injury that results from a variety of
