Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe, often fatal, lung condition frequently seen in patients in the ICU. ARDS is triggered by an inciting event such as pneumonia or sepsis, which is followed by an inappropriate host inflammatory response that results in pulmonary edema and impaired gas exchange, and may progress to fibrosis. With the increased spotlight and discussion focused on ARDS during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers must be able to identify and manage symptoms based on evidence-based research.
急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）是一种严重的、通常致命的肺部疾病，在重症监护病房（ICU）的患者中很常见。ARDS由诸如肺炎或败血症等诱发事件引发，随后是不适当的宿主炎症反应，导致肺水肿和气体交换受损，并可能进展为纤维化。随着在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间对ARDS的关注度和讨论增加，医疗保健提供者必须能够根据循证研究来识别和管理症状。
