Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a pathophysiological state of inflammatory response to lung injury that encompasses a heterogenous group of direct and indirect causes with similar terminal pathophysiological characteristics: vascular endothelial and alveolar epithelial cell damage, production of inflammatory mediators, and accumulation of inflammatory cells, mainly neutrophils, in the lung. 1, 2 The structural damage is translated clinically into a syndrome of acute respiratory failure that debuts with dyspnea, progressive arterial hypoxemia secondary to severely impaired gas exchange, pulmonary edema, intrapulmonary hemorrhage, and marked increase in ventilatory work. 3–7Ashbaugh, Bigelow, and Petty first described ARDS in 1967 in a heterogenous group of patients and demonstrated the beneficial effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to treat patients with acute respiratory failure. 8 The definition, pathophysiology, and treatment of ARDS, however, has evolved constantly since then. Therefore, a historical comparison of patients within the context of ARDS is difficult and may be imprecise. 9 The current incidence of this disease is estimated as∼ 200,000 patients annually in the United States with mortality rates ranging from 25% to 60%. 10, 11 Yet, the data are not homogenous for all cohorts studied;
