The incidence of describing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is approximately 23% in mechanically ventilated patients. The diagnosis of ARDS varies widely; studies report a variation in the population diagnosed with ARDS, from 10 to 86 cases per 100,000. Complications of mechanical ventilation are common and include ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), barotrauma from excessive airway pressures, and volutrauma from excessive tidal volumes which may both worsen ARDS. Pneumothorax occurs in some patients, necessitating the placement of chest drains. This chapter starts with describing ARDS and the Berlin Definition, and its incidence. It also covers aetiology and physiology, then goes on to its treatment and general management. This includes respiratory support, position changes, and other treatments. Situation-dependent prognoses are outlined. Specific nursing care is also described.
