One of the main causes of acute pulmonary edema is cardiovascular diseases such as heart valve disease, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, etc. This condition is called cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a condition of lung injury resulting in diffuse alveolar damage. Lung injury results in excessive fluid accumulation in the interstitial tissue and alveoli. The result is impaired gas exchange, reduced lung compliance, and increased pulmonary artery pressure.

Acute respiratory failure is a dangerous disease that causes many serious complications such as sepsis, multiple organ failure, leading to death if not treated early. So how is ARDS treated, what are the treatment methods?

In the early stage of acute pancreatitis (AP), a large number of cytokines produced by local pancreatitis severely damage the intestinal barrier function, intestinal bacteria and endotoxins invade the blood, causing an inflammatory storm, leading to multiple organ failure, infectious complications, and other disorders, eventually leading to death.
