 | | The objective of treatment is to provide enough support for the failing respiratory system (and other systems) until these systems have time to heal. | | | Occasionally an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or Swan-Ganz catheterization may need to be done to exclude congestive heart failure which can have a similar chest X-ray appearance to ARDS. | | | While it shares some similarities with infant respiratory distress syndrome, its causes and treatments are different. |

| Â | Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome |
| | 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). |

| | Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a medical emergency that develops in the lungs in response to damage. | | | Despite its name, it can occur at any age. | | | In fatal cases, which are common, the lungs become heavy and virtually without air. |
