Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Diffuse alveolar damage causing hypoxemic respiratory failure (PaO2/FiO2 <300, bilateral infiltrates, non-cardiac). Berlin grades: mild/moderate/severe. Exudative phase: neutrophil-mediated injury, protein-rich edema. Treatment: lung-protective ventilation, prone, dexamethasone.

Also known as: ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome, diffuse alveolar damage, DAD, adult RDS
