True about respiratory distress syndrome is all except:
In adult respiratory distress syndrome, there is damage to type-I / II pneumocytes as well as formation of hyaline membrane due to endothelial cell damage which increases vessel permeability - formation of membrane with fibrinogen-Hyaline appearance. Histological feature is diffuse alveolar damage. In such condition, oxygen given to patient cannot diffuse along the epithelial wall, so there is poor response to oxygen therapy.
Damage to type I/II pneumocyte
Histological feature is diffuse alveolar damage
Formation of hyaline membrane in this condition
Excellent response to oxygen therapy
