| | The less severe form of this syndrome is called acute lung injury. | | | Successful treatment depends on correcting the underlying cause; oxygen therapy, which is vital to correcting low oxygen levels, is combined with treatment of the underlying cause. | | | Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a medical emergency that often occurs in people who have severe lung disease. |

| | A similar pattern of change was observed with hemodynamic variables, lung volumes and respiratory mechanics. | | | There is much debate currently, regarding the optimal ventilation strategy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). | | | Several recent studies have promoted the open lung approach which involves: (1) the use of high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to recruit and maintain lung units and hence prevent the deleterious effects of recruitment/derecruitment; (2) the limitation of plateau inspiratory pressure to 35 cmH |

| | Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of severe, acute lung dysfunction affecting all or most of both lungs that occurs as a result of illness or injury. | | | Although it is sometimes called adult respiratory distress syndrome, it may also affect children. | | | Major symptoms may include breathing difficulties (dyspnea), rapid breathing (tachypnea), excessively deep and rapid breathing (hyperventilation) and insufficient levels of oxygen in the circulating blood (hypoxemia). |
