AbstractThe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the pulmonary manifestation of multiple organ failure. Respiratory distress, alveolar consolidation and hypoxemia refractory to oxygen are the result of uniform and unspecific morphological reactions of the alveolo capillary membrane. The development of ARDS is most commonly associated with risk factors such as sepsis, trauma, shock or pneumonia. A causal therapy for ARDS is not known. Treatment of the underlying disease, maintenance of arterial oxygenation and prevention of secondary complications are the most important therapeutic measures.
