What is ARDS?
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a rapid progressing disease that occurs in critically ill patients. The complication occurs when the there is fluid build up in tiny and elastic air sacs in the lungs. This fluid blocks the lungs from being filled with enough air and makes the breathing process difficult; meaning a little oxygen reaches the circulatory system (Chris, 1). As a result, body organs are deprived of oxygen that is needed to function. The main symptom of the condition (severe shortness of breath) can develop within few hours to few days after the infection.

Pathophysiologic changes associated with ARDS
ARDS can cause injury to the alveoli. Alveoli are made up of very thin epithelial cells across which gas exchange takes place. Epithelial cells in the alveoli normally forms a barrier preventing the entry any fluid. In persons with ARDS, this barrier is broken and it allows the flooding of the alveolar space and makes difficult for oxygen diffusion to body tissues (Chris, 2).
