Defining adult respiratory distress syndrome
Br J Hosp Med.
1992 Mar.
Abstract
Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a continuum of severe, evolving, diffuse lung injury, often complicated by multiorgan failure. Its pathophysiology is unclear and its treatment is empirical. It is diagnosed clinically using criteria that have no consensus and do not address underlying mechanisms.
