1 ARDS, or acute respiratory distress syndrome, is a lung condition that leads to low oxygen levels in the blood. 2  ARDS can be life threatening. 3  This is because your body's organs, such as the kidneys and brain, need oxygen-rich blood to work properly.
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.
