Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome symptoms such as rapid onset of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and hypoxemia.

These conditions contribute to the development of non-hydrostatic pulmonary edema, which significantly impairs lung function.
