Acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome of injured lung due to any systemic inflammatory responses. The decline in ARDS mortality mostly attributed to improvements in standard supportive care. There are still no data from any large multicenter randomized clinical trial ever demonstrated to reduce mortality other than the recommended by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) ARDS Network published in 2000.
