Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a serious condition that occurs when the lungs become severely inflamed and filled with fluid. This can lead to difficulty breathing and reduced oxygen levels in the blood. ARDS can be caused by various factors, including infections, trauma, or inhalation of harmful substances. Patients with ARDS often require medical intervention, such as oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation, to support their breathing. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes. Healthcare providers closely monitor patients to manage complications and provide appropriate care during recovery.
