Response: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
I think you have touched on some rally nice ideas in this paper. Furthermore, you had some minor spelling and grammatical errors that can be eliminated through spellchecking. Misspelled words and grammatically incorrect sentences can mislead the reader of your paper. Therefore, always try to proofread your draft papers before submitting the final copy. Specifically, try to read your paper to identify some vague points and concepts that need further explication. In this regards, feel that you could have included a definitions section that defines some of the technical terms used in the paper. Defining some of the technical terms that you have used in the paper will help the reader to understand the paper better. For example, you could have provided appropriate definitions for technical terms such as sepsis, hypercapnia, and PEEP. Moreover, try to use appropriate transitions between sentences to improve the readability of your work.
In sum, in find the paper to be very informative and I hope that my comments will help you to fine-tune your paper.
Discussion
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a medical condition characterized by the inability of the lungs to provide sufficient oxygen to the rest of the body (Choi, 2009). It can affect individuals of all ages and it often develops as a complication of an existing medical condition (Matalon, 1998). Many people begin exhibiting some of the symptoms associated with ARDS when they are already hospitalized. Most people develop ARDS-related complications because of some of the underlying conditions from which they are suffering. In this case, many people do not die of ARDS itself, but of the complications associated with ARDS (Elie, 2013). For those who survive ARDS, the main complications arise from muscle and nerve damage that result in weakness and pain (Russell, 1999). On the other hand, some of the ARDS victims end up developing psychological problems such as depression and PSTD (post-traumatic stress disorder). In case the ARDS complications do not result in death, the lungs usually recover, and it is rare to have situations where an individual ends up developing chronic or long-term lung failure (Matthay, 2003).
