Can people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome work? What kind of work can they perform?
See how people with experience in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome give their opinion about whether people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Yes people with ARDS can work. I have had it twice and I not only work but volunteer for several organizations.

Yes, once discharged and recovered they can return to work. It depends on the type of work they did before they got ARDS.

Full recovery from ARDS is rare. Many survivors do not return to work.

Their ability to work depends on their recovery. Each situation is unique. Cognitive and emotional skills may be an issue.

It's not likely that anyone having had Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome will ever work again. It reaks havic on the body and the mind.

I can't work because my ARDS. My lungs are very damaged. I can't breathe normally. My lung capacity is 34%. Also, I've bronchiectasis and COPD as sequelaes of this condition. I'm 34 years old

In my opinion and from my experience ,someone with ARDS should work from home..they are usually easily weakened plus have a low immune system . Plus they need breathing treatments several times a day. Oxygen tanks are flammable as well.

Most can return to work, I did after 3
Months but I did office work. You become short winded and find yourself having the endurance you had before
