What to know about acute respiratory distress syndrome?

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a serious condition that occurs when the body does not receive enough oxygen from the lungs. It is a complication of an existing lung infection, injury, or serious illness. It can progress rapidly, and it can be fatal. The condition is also known as Trusted Source respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, adult respiratory distress syndrome, wet lung, and Vietnam lung, among other names. ARDS can be serious because it reduces the amount of oxygen provided to the body’s organs. It can lead to infections and pneumonia, a collapsed lung, kidney failure, muscle weakness, and confusion. Studies show that ARDS is less common in children, and less likely to be fatal.

Fast facts about acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)

• ARDS occurs when the body does not get enough oxygen from the lungs.
• Symptoms include severe shortness of breath and blue lips or nails.
• The condition can lead to a collapsed lung.
• It can be brought on by many causes, including lung infections, pulmonary blood clots, accidental inhalation of chemicals, vomiting, or food, and giving birth.
• Most patients with ARDS are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU).
• ARDS is fatal in 30 to 40 percent of cases. In surviving patients, lung function returns to normal after between 6 and 12 months.

Importance of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome:

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an important cause of acute respiratory failure that is often associated with multiple organ failure. Several clinical disorders can precipitate ARDS, including pneumonia, sepsis, aspiration of gastric contents, and major trauma. Physiologically, ARDS is characterized by increased permeability pulmonary edema, severe arterial hypoxemia, and impaired carbon dioxide excretion. Based on both experimental and clinical studies, progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis and the resolution of lung injury, including the contribution of environmental and genetic factors. Improved survival has been achieved with the use of lung-protective ventilation. Future progress will depend on developing novel therapeutics that can facilitate and enhance lung repair.

About Respiratory Conference 2023:

The respiratory system is the defining element for all active living beings who breathe air. Recently the covid-19 pandemic has consumed the global human population through respiratory disease, leaving a trail of loss and devastation. Respiratory Conference 2023 invites you to join the “4th International Conference on Respiratory Disease and Care” in Zurich, Switzerland. This Respiratory Conference comes at a very critical time to review what we have learned thus far and what we can propose going forward to protect and prevent situations like SARS-CoV-2 and many others. With this aim, this Respiratory Conference will attract all levels of pulmonologists, researchers, and industry personnel to a common platform for crucial collaborations to secure effective healthcare services for the future. The goal of Longdom Conferences is to bring together scientists at every level from diverse disciplines to understand and discuss throughout the programmed sessions and comfortable gatherings. All these opportunities will support the professional growth of younger scientists that will promote future collaborations and enhance participation and contribution to their exciting research work.
