mortality rate is 35% to 40% and the cause of death is frequently due to nonrespiratory problems. ETIOLOGY The most common clinical problems associated with the onset of ALI and ARDS are sepsis‚ severe trauma‚ multiple transfusions‚ aspiration‚ severe pneumonia‚ and smoke inhalation. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY ARDS affects lung mechanics‚ gas exchange‚ and the pulmonary vasculature of both lungs. Although both lungs are affected‚ the degree of lung involvement varies throughout each lung.
