Abstract: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is clinical syndrome of severe dyspnea of acute onset, hypoxemia and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates causing respiratory failure. This syndrome can occur even without primary damage to lung parenchyma and thus they are more often classified as ARDS due to pulmonary and extrapulmonary causes. The diagnosis of ARDS depends on clinical criteria alone because it is not practical to obtain direct measurements of lung injury by pathological samples of lung tissue in most patients; furthermore, neither distal airspace nor blood samples can be used to diagnose ARDS. Hence our Objective was to study the clinical profile and outcome of patients with ARDS coming to our tertiary care hospital.
