adult respiratory distress syndrome: Before 1992, the acronym ARDS represented the adult respiratory distress syndrome. The American-European Consensus Committee on ARDS standardized the definition... in 1994 and renamed it acute rather than adult respiratory distress syndrome because it occurs at all ages. 4, record 1, English, - acute%20respiratory%20distress%20syndrome

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The mature lung contains a foamy fluid known as surfactant, a substance essential to expansion of the alveoli, or air sacs of the lungs. Because of their immaturity, premature babies tend to lack surfactant. Without surfactant, the lungs cannot inflate resulting in RDS [respiratory distress syndrome]. 2, record 4, English, - respiratory%20distress%20syndrome

Au cours d'une étude prospective, nous avons évalué la maturité pulmonaire chez des nouveau-nés à risque élevé à l'aide du test de Clements (TC). Les objectifs de cette étude étaient d'établir la corrélation entre le TC et le syndrome de détresse respiratoire à la naissance, de déterminer la validité du TC par rapport au score d'Apgar, d'évaluer la validité du TC par rapport au poids de naissance. 1, record 4, French, - syndrome%20de%20d%C3%A9tresse%20respiratoire
