Chapter 235: Chapter 0236: Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome

At that moment, Xingru had already woken up, but she was still relying on an oxygen machine, wearing an oxygen mask to aid her breathing. Now in the ward, only Ye Qiu and she were left.

As soon as Ye Qiu first laid eyes on Xingru, he could tell what illness she was suffering from.

However, he didn't mention it in front of those people.

According to Western medicine, the disease Xingru was suffering from is called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which is a syndrome characterized by acute progressive hypoxemic respiratory failure, triggered by various causes.

This disease has a very high mortality rate. However, in recent years, with greater clinical emphasis, early detection, and the initiation of mechanical ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure therapy, the mortality rate has dropped somewhat, and after being cured, respiratory function can often gradually return to normal.
