Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious condition that occurs when fluid builds up in the air spaces (alveoli) in the lungs. This can make it difficult for oxygen to pass into the blood and can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and chest pain.
People with morbid obesity (a body mass index [BMI] of 40 or higher) are at increased risk for developing ARDS, as they may have underlying conditions that can increase their risk for respiratory complications.
Treatment for ARDS in people with morbid obesity may involve mechanical ventilation (breathing machine) to help support their breathing. It may also involve the use of medications to reduce inflammation in the lungs and to improve oxygen delivery to the body. In severe cases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be used to provide oxygen to the body while the lungs rest and heal.
Recovery after acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be a long and difficult process. The severity of ARDS and the underlying cause will determine the length and complexity of recovery. Some people may recover fully after a few weeks or months, while others may have long-term respiratory problems or other complications.
