Clinical manifestation of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) on respiratory system:

Tachypnea (Respiratory rate above 20 per minute associated with PaCO2 below 32 mm/Hg).

Clinical manifestation of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) on the respiratory system:

1) Dyspnea

2) Increased respiratory rate

3) Alveolar edema

4) Decrease in surfactant

5) Deceased compliance

6) Pulmonary hypertension

7) Hypoxemia

8) V/Q mismatch

9) Increase in shunt.
