Heyyyyyyyy. i'm very sick. is that a ards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: If you're asking the question you're not on a ventilator in the ICU which is where you'd be with ards. Severe acute lung injury has many causes from infection to trauma. Breakdown of the alveolar-capillary membrane leads to ards.
