Abstract

Respiratory insufficiency frequently occurs in patients after thoracoabdominal surgery, because of sudden inability of the pulmonary system and adult respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).

We experienced a case of ARDS which developed during general anesthesia in panperitonitis due to perforated stomach, and reviewed etiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment in ARDS.
