Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) occurs when fluid builds up in the tiny, elastic air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs.
ARDS is divided into three 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.
Illicit drugs are chemicals, and when people smoke, inject, or otherwise consume these chemicals, it negatively affects their health. Drugs interact with gas exchange in the lungs and lead to aspiration pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, and pneumonia.
Sepsis may be the most common cause of ARDS that develops several days or more after severe trauma or burns.
