„Pearls:
- Patients with ARDs are some of the sickest we see in the ED. Timely recognition and intervention are essential.
- ARDS is not a primary disorder but instead secondary to other illnesses.
- Treatment is focused on supportive care and limiting lung injury.
- Use lung protective ventilation with low tidal volumes.“
