Abstract:
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute form of noncardiogenic respiratory failure that often occurs in previously healthy individuals who have sustained severe physiologic insult that is pulmonary or nonpulmonary in origin. The perinatal nurse can help increase the survival of the maternal-fetal dyad by prompt recognition of the syndrome and early institution of therapeutic measures.
