==Diffuse alveolar damage==
==Diffuse alveolar damage==
*Abbreviated ''DAD''.
*Abbreviated ''DAD''.
===General===
{{Main|Diffuse alveolar damage}}
Etiology:
*Abrupt hypoxemia with pulmonary infiltrates leading to epithelial cell and endothelial cell death not accompanied by cardiac failure.<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_364>{{Ref PCPBoD8|364}}</ref>
 
DAD is the histologic correlate of:
*Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
**[[AKA]] adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to differentiate it from ''[[respiratory distress syndrome]]'' in infants.
*Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP).
*Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI).
 
The DDx is broad:<ref>{{Ref WMSP|91}}</ref>
*Infection/sepsis.
*Toxic (smoke, oxygen).
*Drug (amiodarone, chemotherapy).
*Trauma/shock.
*Inflammatory.
*Idiopathic.
