Abstract

The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute respiratory failure due to non-hemodynamic pulmonary edema, also called permeability edema. It is a common complication of several critical diseases such as circulatory shock, sepsis and trauma. The clinical picture includes hypoxemia, decreased lung compliance and diffuse bilateral infiltrates on chest roentgenogram. The arterial hypoxemia in ARDS mainly results from intrapulmonary shunt due to perfusion of unventilated lung units.
