English term or phrase: acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Definition from National heart, lung, and blood inst. :
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious lung condition that causes low blood oxygen. People who develop ARDS are usually ill due to another disease or a major injury. In ARDS, fluid builds up inside the tiny air sacs of the lungs, and surfactant breaks down. Surfactant is a foamy substance that keeps the lungs fully expanded so that a person can breathe. These changes prevent the lungs from filling properly with air and moving enough oxygen into the bloodstream and throughout the body. The lung tissue may scar and become stiff.

  • A very large proportion of patients admitted to ICU for Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) fulfill acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) criteria according to Berlin definition [1,2,3]. Annals of Intensive Care
  • Another “paradigm shift” is that the argument of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is now newly broken, that COVID-19 is not ARDS, and that established ARDS therapies are inappropriate for COVID-19 patients or may cause harm. Life in the fastline

Definition from Wikipedia:
Akutni respiratorni distres sindrom (ARDS), sindrom akutnog plućnog edema kod odraslih osoba klinički je sindrom akutne respiratorne insuficijencije, koji nastaje usljed oštećenja parenhima pluća. Upala pluća zahvaća uglavnom cijelo područje oba plućna krila pa je disanje otežano, a tijelu nedostaje kisik. Podležeća bolest pluća bilo koje vrste, ali naročito KOPB čine vas još podložnijim ARDS-u.
