Excerpt

In 1994, the American Thoracic Society and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine co-published the proceedings of a consensus conference concerning the definitions, mechanisms, relevant outcomes, and clinical trial coordination for studies of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [1, 2]. From this conference came the still current “definition” of ARDS used in many subsequent clinical trials, including, for instance, the recently reported Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial (FACTT) [3, 4]. …
