Overview
ARDS may be caused by either direct or indirect insults to the lung. Common causes of ARDS include sepsis, aspiration pneumonitis, and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI).[1]
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
ARDS itself is a life-threatening condition that carries a high mortality rate; any cause of ARDS may be considered life-threatening.
Common Causes
ARDS may occur as the result of either a direct or indirect insult to the lungs:
- Direct insult
- Pneumonia (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic)
- Aspiration pneumonitis
- Toxic inhalation
- Smoke inhalation
- Fat embolism
- Amniotic fluid embolism
- Near-drowning (fresh water drowning seems to be more likely to cause ARDS than salt water drowning)
- Physical trauma to the lungs (e.g., pulmonary contusion)
- Indirect insult:
- Sepsis
- Massive blood transfusion
- Adverse drug reactions and toxic exposures (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid overdose, heroin overdose)
- Extrapulmonary traumatic injury (e.g., head trauma, polytrauma)
- Pancreatitis
- Surface burns
- Cardiopulmonary bypass
