Abstract

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening disorder marked by low oxygen levels and rigid or non-compliant lungs. In the absence of any indication of cardiogenic pulmonary edema, ARDS is defined as an acute disease that begins within 7 days of the triggering event and is marked by bilateral lung infiltrates and severe progressive hypoxemia. ARDS has a significant death rate, and there are few effective treatment options for this life-threatening illness. The management of these severely ill patients in the intensive care unit relies heavily on imaging. Chest radiography, bedside lung ultrasonography, and computed tomography scans can all help with patient care and prognostic variables identification. However, imaging results are not always specific, and other diagnosis should be considered.
