To hasten the development of effective therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in 1994, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute initiated a clinical network to carry out multicenter clinical trials of ARDS treatments. The ARDS Network is a clinical research network of approximately 42 hospitals, organized into 12 clinical sites. The goal of the Network is to efficiently test promising agents, devices, or management strategies to improve the care of patients with ARDS. Comprehensive information regarding all completed and ongoing ARDSNet clinical trials is available at www.ardsnet.org, but a brief summary is provided in this article.
为了加速治疗急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）的有效疗法的发展，1994 年，美国国家心肺血液研究所启动了一个临床网络，以开展急性呼吸窘迫综合征治疗的多中心临床试验。急性呼吸窘迫综合征网络是一个由大约 42 家医院组成的临床研究网络，分为 12 个临床基地。该网络的目标是高效地测试有前途的药物、设备或管理策略，以改善急性呼吸窘迫综合征患者的护理。有关所有已完成和正在进行的急性呼吸窘迫综合征网络临床试验的综合信息可在 www.ardsnet.org 上获得，但本文提供了一个简要概述。
