Abstract
Introduction
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute respiratory failure characterized by hypoxemia resulting from diffuse inflammatory injury to the alveolar-capillary barrier. Despite advances in lung-protective mechanical ventilation and adjunctive therapies, mortality remains high. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, biological, ventilatory, and outcome characteristics of patients with ARDS and to identify factors independently associated with mortality.
