Category: Respiratory / Acute Lung Injury
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition characterized by widespread inflammation in the lungs, leading to fluid accumulation in the alveoli and critically impaired gas exchange.
Incidence ranges from 10 to 80 cases per 100,000 person-years, with higher rates in critically ill populations (Bellani, G. et al. Epidemiology, Patterns of Care, and Mortality for Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Intensive Care Units in 50 Countries. JAMA 2016; 315:788-800)
