Refering to Chinese dictionary,when "得" is used after a verb or an adjective word, the complement can not only discribe the degree,but also mean the result.\
得（de）：用在动词或形容词后面，连接表示结果或程度的补语。————《现代汉语词典》 （第六版）
(Used behind a verb or an adjective word, connect to the complement that shows the result or degree._____from.Morden Chinese Dictionary 6th edition)
Some example:
"我跑得喘不过气。" ==>"I run out of breath."
"Out of breath" is the result of "run".
