In Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ARDS,,what will happen to the lung compliance ?? increase or decrease?

Compliance, or the elasticity of the lung, will decrease. This is due to inflammation and fluid in the interstitum of the lung which is seen as diffuse infiltrate on x-ray. Hope this helps.
