1 Sepsis. 2  The most common cause of ARDS is sepsis, a serious and widespread infection of the bloodstream. 3  Inhalation of harmful substances. 4  Breathing high concentrations of smoke or chemical fumes can result in ARDS, as can inhaling (aspirating) vomit.ronchioles and alveoli. The mechanical cause of ARDS is fluid leaked from the smallest blood vessels in the lungs into the tiny air sacs where blood is oxygenated. Normally, a protective membrane keeps this fluid in the vessels.
The Power of Music. Ventilators and the Treatment of ARDS The primary treatment of ARDS involves supportive care in an intensive care unit (ICU), including use of a mechanical ventilator and supplemental oxygen to help patients breathe.The goal of mechanical ventilation is to support the patient's breathing during the time needed for the patient's lungs to heal.nstead, it is usually an indication that the mechanical ventilation is not being optimized through the tube inserted through the mouth. A tracheostomy might afford the patient a better pattern of breathing and hence a better possibility of surviving ARDS.
