This excludes acute and chronic respiratory failure (518.84), acute respiratory distress (518.82), acute respiratory failure following trauma and surgery (518.51), chronic respiratory failure (518.83), respiratory arrest (799.1), and respiratory failure, newborn (770.84). This applies to respiratory failure NOS.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS, is a very serious lung problem that may happen when a person is critically ill. With ARDS, fluid fills the air sacs of both lungs. This causes the lungs to become swollen (inflamed). ARDS makes it hard to breathe. Acute lung injury (ALI) is similar to ARDS but not as serious as ARDS. ALI and ARDS can happen after: 1  Pneumonia. 2  Traumatic injuries, such as car accidents and severe burns. 3  An infection carried throughout the body known as âsepsisâ. 4  Shock.
