Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life threatening condition characterized by severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary gas exchange failure and was first recognized in 1960s.Since its first description, it has undergone intensive research in the past few decades to understand its pathogenesis and therapies. Despite this, the recommended therapies to decrease mortality in ARDS remain limited and include low-tidal volume mechanical ventilation, prone ventilation and recently, the ECMO rescue therapy in extreme cases. This review article will summarize the key features of ARDS with a brief overview of the therapeutic options in the management of ARDS.
急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）是一种危及生命的病症，其特征为由于肺气体交换衰竭导致的严重低氧血症，于20世纪60年代首次被认识。自首次描述以来，在过去几十年里对其进行了深入研究以了解其发病机制和治疗方法。尽管如此，降低ARDS死亡率的推荐治疗方法仍然有限，包括低潮气量机械通气、俯卧位通气，以及最近在极端情况下的体外膜肺氧合（ECMO）挽救治疗。本文将总结ARDS的关键特征，并简要概述ARDS管理中的治疗选择。
