What Is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome?
3. Symptoms
Which symptoms the patient experiences, and their severity, will vary from case to case. It will be down to factors such as the underlying cause and just how severe the underlying cause is. The most typical symptom of the condition is that the patient will be feeling very short of breath.
In trying to regain their breath, the patient’s breathing is likely to be more rapid than usual, and it can also be very labored. They will have a low blood pressure, and a lack of oxygen can cause them to feel very tired. The condition will also often cause the patient to become confused more easily than usual.
