Answer:

Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a situation where there is an accumulation of fluids in the lung air sacs.

Explanation:

Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a situation where there is an accumulation of fluids in the lung air sacs. This occurs in adults who are seriously ill or injured, as is the case with G.S, shown in the question above.

Generally, patients who get this syndrome, fail to recover and end up dying. This is because the fluids of the lung prevent the organs from receiving the oxygen necessary for their functioning.
