There are a number of things which can cause this sort of injury in the lung: infection, fume inhalation injury, autoimmune diseases, trauma, and others. The lung injury causes damage to the alveoli (the numerous air-sacs in the lung) causing them to become leaky and ineffective. Most patients with this sort of injury will need to be on a mechanical ventilator for days to weeks and there is a high death rate. One positive thing, recent studies on how to adjust the various pressures on the mechanical ventilator has improved the chances of survival.<br><b>References : </b><br>N Engl J Med. 2000 May 4;342(18):1301-8.
