Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a critical disease with a high mortality rate, characterized by obstinate hypoxemia caused by accumulation of alveolar fluid and excessive uncontrolled inflammation.

The function of Na,K-ATPase is always impaired during ARDS and results in more severe symptoms of ARDS.
