A member asked:
In acute respiratory distress syndrome, what will happen to the lung compliance ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decreases: The lung is filled with inflammatory exudate and the compliance decreases as it cannot stretch. This is a classic, we follow that on the ventilator and adjust the settings so that we don't stress out the lungs too much. I hope this answers your question, let me know if i can provide more detail.
