Condition
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a severe lung condition in which the lungs become inflamed and fill with fluid, making breathing very hard, and it usually follows serious illness such as pneumonia, sepsis, trauma, or aspiration. Omega-3 fatty acids and intravenous vitamin C have drawn the most interest among supplements, but little research on them has been reviewed here so far. Care happens in intensive care with mechanical ventilation, and nutrition is only a supporting piece.
