Detailed explanation-1: -The goal of treatment for ARDS is to improve oxygen levels and treat the underlying cause. Oxygen therapy is the main treatment for ARDS. Other treatments aim to prevent complications and make you comfortable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Positioning in ARDS The prone position has been shown to improve oxygenation in some patients with ARDS. This position is felt to be more physiologic for most mammals and results in improved secretion removal, ventilation perfusion matching, and better aeration of the dorsal lung units.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most common treatment for ARDS is oxygen therapy. This involves delivering extra oxygen to patients, through a mask, nasal cannula (two small tubes that enter the nose), or a tube inserted directly into the windpipe. Ventilator support: All patients with ARDS need oxygen therapy, as noted above.
