Pathophysiology of ARDS Air moves through the respiratory system from the base of the trunk to the tips of the twigs. Clustered at the tips of the trachiobronchial twigs are tiny air sacs called alveoli, where inhaled oxygen passes into the blood stream. This is where acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) occurs.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition. It occurs when fluid fills up the air sacs in your lungs. Too much fluid in your lungs lowers the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream. ARDS can prevent your organs from getting the oxygen they need to function, and it can eventually cause organ failure.

- ARDS is divided into 3 categories of severity: mild, moderate, and severe based on oxygenation defects and clinical criteria ( Berlin Definition of ARDS). The mild category corresponds to the previous category termed acute lung injury (ALI).

ARDS, or acute respiratory distress syndrome, is a lung condition that leads to low oxygen levels in the blood. ARDS can be life threatening because your body's organs need oxygen-rich blood to work well. People who develop ARDS often are very ill with another disease or have major injuries.

Overview 1 Sepsis. 2  The most common cause of ARDS is sepsis, a serious and widespread infection of the bloodstream. 3  Inhalation of harmful substances. 4  Breathing high concentrations of smoke or chemical fumes can result in ARDS, as can inhaling (aspirating) vomit.ronchioles and alveoli. The mechanical cause of ARDS is fluid leaked from the smallest blood vessels in the lungs into the tiny air sacs where blood is oxygenated. Normally, a protective membrane keeps this fluid in the vessels.

- Liver disease. Alcohol-related liver disease is a range of conditions and associated symptoms that develop when the liver becomes damaged due to alcohol misuse. In this video, consultant hepatologist Mark Wright talks about how avoiding alcohol can help those with the condition.lcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) refers to liver damage caused by excess alcohol intake. There are several stages of severity and a range of associated symptoms. ARLD doesn't usually cause any symptoms until the liver has been severely damaged. When this happens, symptoms can include: 1  feeling sick. 2  weight loss.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome Although the terminology of adult respiratory distress syndrome has at times been used to differentiate ARDS from infant respiratory distress syndrome in newborns, the international consensus is that acute respiratory distress syndrome is the best term because ARDS can affect people of all ages.

Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time. It is the cause of 60% to 70% of cases of dementia. The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events (short-term memory loss). As the disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation (including easily getting lost), mood swings, loss of motivation, not managing self care, and behavioural issues.
