Research advances in definition deduction of adult respiratory distress syndrome / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a common disease in ICU, is more difficult to treat with poor prognosis. Since it was described in 1967, the ARDS has been extensively studied, and the definition has undergone several revisions. The latest definition of ARDS is "Berlin Definition" , while the definition not associated with the pathological basis of ARDS has affected its guiding significance in the treatment of ARDS. Moreover there are significant distinctions in the results of ARDS treatment in different regions and specialties, making researchers far from stopping controversy over the definition of ARDS. The authors review the changes in the definition of ARDS and the existing controversies, hoping to deepen the understanding of the disease and bring new ideas for the treatment of ARDS.
