Abstract

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by acute onset of hypoxemic respiratory failure and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates not fully explained by cardiac causes. It is commonly associated with sepsis, pneumonia, trauma, and aspiration. Despite advances in supportive care, ARDS continues to have high morbidity and mortality. This case report presents a patient with ARDS secondary to severe pneumonia, highlighting clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, management strategies, and outcomes. The report also discusses current evidence-based approaches to ARDS management, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary care.
