Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a lung injury that happens when fluids build up in small air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs ARDS prevents your lungs from filling up with air and causes dangerously low oxygen levels in your blood (hypoxia)

- Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (AHRF, ARDS)
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is defined as severe hypoxemia (PaO2 < 60 mmHg) without hypercapnia It is caused by intrapulmonary shunting of blood with resulting in ventilation-perfusion (V Q) mismatch due to airspace filling or collapse (eg, cardiogenic or non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, pneumonia, pulmonary hemorrhage) or possibly airway disease (eg, sometimes asthma, COPD); or by
