How is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) different from RDS?
Solution
Answer:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a medical condition characterized by
inflammation in the lungs. ARDS is not a particular disease, rather it is a clinical phenotype
which may be triggered by various pathologies such as trauma, pneumonia and sepsis. ARDS
results in injury to cells which form the alveolar barrier, surfactant dysfunction, activation of the
innate immune response, and abnormal coagulation. In effect, ARDS results in impaired gas
exchange within the lungs at the level of the microscopic alveoli.
The terminology of "adult respiratory distress syndrome" has been used to differentiate ARDS
from "infant respiratory distress syndrome" (RDS) in neonates, however, international
consensus is that "acute respiratory distress syndrome" is the best term because ARDS can
affect those of all ages.
