| | Scripps Research Scientists Discover New Key to Pulmonary Edema in Respiratory Distress Syndrome |
| | Adult respiratory distress syndrome is usually treated by ventilation that increases the oxygen available to the lungs, as well as by antibiotics, muscle relaxers, pain relievers, heart stimulants, and other drugs that address some of the related problems. | | | Acute respiratory distress syndrome can be caused by a number of underlying conditions, including smoke inhalation, a severe blow to the chest, bad pneumonia, septic shock, severe blood loss, or drug overdose. | | | In acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary edema can be so severe that the lungs become heavy and stiff, which is why acute respiratory distress syndrome has also been called "wet lung" or "stiff lung." |

| | RDS, respiratory distress syndrome |
| | RDS, respiratory distress syndrome, refers to a group of conditions which are all characterized by failure of normal respiration caused by lack of a substance called surfactant in the lungs. | | | A related type of repiratory distress syndrome may occur in children or adults who experience profound shock in the course of a severe illness or in reponse to life-threatening trauma ("shock lung"). | | | This has improved survival and lessened the severity of the lung disease, often dramatically. |

If ARDS is very severe or lasts a long time, the lungs do not heal, but rather become scarred, a process known as fibrosis. |
