Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Lawyers

While acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), can be caused by severe trauma, such as accidents, traumatic blows to the chest, smoke or fume inhalation, or severe pneumonia, it is also a common result of medical malpractice.

ARDs causes victims to experience a severe shortness of breath and even breathing failure. This condition often requires mechanical ventilation, also known as life support. This condition is often fatal. Over half of ARDS victims lose their life.

COMMON CAUSES OF ARDS

Doctor or hospital error can be the cause of contracting ARDS if the following problems occur:

• Severe blood loss
• Hospital infections
• Blood Transfusion Errors
• Heart Bypass Surgical Error
• Pharmaceutical errors, primarily overdose or dangerous drug interactions
