It represents the serious pulmonary response to a broad range of severe injuries occurring either directly to the lung or as the consequence of injury or inflammation at other sites in the body. With the great advance in the treatment of serious diseases such as severe trauma, shock and sepsis, many patients do not die of original diseases but develop ARDS, which makes the incidence of ARDS increase. Results from a recent thorough epidemiological study conducted in Seattle suggested ARDS incidence figure of 59 cases per 100000 inhabitants/year.展开更多
