Research Paper on Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome‚ also known as ARDS is described as a restrictive lung disease that reduces compliance. This is a life threatening condition that causes severe fluid buildup in both lungs. The fluid buildup prevents the lungs being able to transfer oxygen from air into the body

These will all determine the definite diagnosis‚ along with the size of the heart‚ how much blood is going to the lungs‚ and show the enlarged left ventricle. A VSD can be detected by cardiac auscultation. A VSD can be silent if there is not much pressure difference between the ventricles and will not be very

To understand that the lungs do not contain muscle and that respirations are therefore caused by external forces. To explore the effect of changing airway resistance on breathing. To study the effect of surfactant on lung function. To examine the factors that cause lung collapse. To understand the effects of hyperventilation‚ rebreathing‚ and breath holding on the CO2 level

continuing to affect people world-wide. It is described by an inflammation in the airways of the lungs‚ caused by an irritant that triggers a release of histamines and leukotrienes in a person. Histamines and leukotrienes cause smooth muscle to constrict and mucus to be produced. In a person without asthma‚ airways are not inflamed or blocked and breathing is normal. In a person with asthma‚ the airways of the lungs are inflamed and blocked by mucus‚ which prevents normal breathing. They may experience symptoms
