   What are the different types of Ards?

   • It may occur in people who already have lung disease or in those with previously normal lungs. ARDS is divided into 3 categories: mild, moderate, and severe. The category is determined by comparing the level of oxygen in the blood with the amount of oxygen that needs to be given to achieve that level.

   What is the survival rate for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?

   • Survival rates for ARDS are around 55% to 70% when treatment is prompt. If treatment is delayed or other organs begin to fail, survival rates are lower. Factors like the underlying medical conditions, health history and how severe the respiratory distress is all go into determining the outlook. Your healthcare provider will tell you what to expect.

   • Diagnosing ARDS. There's no specific test to diagnose ARDS. A full assessment is needed to identify the underlying cause and rule out other conditions. The assessment is likely to include
   • Treating ARDS. If you develop ARDS, you'll probably be admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) and use a breathing machine (ventilator) to help your breathing.

   Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) occurs when lung swelling causes fluid to build up in the tiny elastic air sacs in the lungs. These air sacs, called alveoli, have a protective membrane, but lung swelling damages that membrane. The fluid leaking into the air sacs keeps the lungs from filling with enough air. This means less oxygen reaches...
