A life-threatening condition that often results in death, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) happens when fluids begin to occupy available spaces in the tiny air sacs in the lungs, leading to a decrease in the available oxygen to the blood. This can arise from several causes, such as lung infection, blood infection, trauma to the chest, and inhaling toxic substances.
When this happens, the patient's organs receive less oxygen than they require to stay healthy and function properly. People with ARDS usually experience labored breathing from severe shortness of breath and extreme tiredness. Other symptoms include dry cough, headache, fever, and discolored skin or nails. ARDS can be diagnosed with a physical examination, CT scan or X-ray, echocardiogram, or airway examination.
