Abstract
For the past three to four decades, the onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has brought substantial insight into its epidemiology and pathophysiology. It is characterised by an acute lung injury resulting in widespread pulmonary oedema due to increased alveolar capillary permeability. Acute lung injury arises from the damaging effects of inflammatory mediators. Treatment of ARDS involves various modalities of supportive care categorised as ventilator and nonventilator measures. Berlin’s conference consensus definition of ARDS has been widely accepted in defining and categorising ARDS. The promising therapies for future include use of statins, aspirin, nebulised heparin, AdrenoMedulin, Interferon beta, Tumour necrosis factor (TNF alpha) receptor blockade, Angiotensin converting enzyme and keratinocytes growth factors.
Keywords: ARDS, berlins definition, prone ventilation, restrictive fluid strategy, steroids, ventilator.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
