Background:

Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe pulmonary complication.
ARDS following pneumonectomy is uncommon yet frequently lethal.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the pathogenesis of ARDS after pneumonectomy.
To identify potential contributing factors to this complication.

Main Methods:

Literature review of ARDS post-pneumonectomy.
Analysis of proposed etiological factors.

Main Results:

The precise etiology of ARDS post-pneumonectomy is not definitively established.
Several factors are implicated in its pathogenesis.

Conclusions:

Understanding the pathogenesis of ARDS after pneumonectomy is crucial.
Further research is needed to elucidate the exact causes and develop preventative strategies.
