Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): ARDS is a life-threatening lung condition that occurs when fluid leaks into the air sacs of the lungs. Due to this, breathing becomes difficult, and oxygen cannot get into the body. ARDS results from lung injury such as sepsis, pneumonia, inhaling harmful substances, or trauma to the head, chest or other areas of the body. Patients with ARDS are short of breath, often to a distressing level.
