NCIt synonyms : Mild ARDS;
NCIt definition : A form of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that is marked by mild hypoxemia.
Based on the Berlin criteria, onset must occur within one week of a clinical insult
or there must be evidence of new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Chest imaging
reveals bilateral opacities consistent with pulmonary edema that are not fully explained
by effusions, lobar/lung collapse, or nodules. Respiratory failure is not fully explained
by heart failure or fluid overload and objective assessment, e.g. echocardiography,
is required to exclude hydrostatic edema if no risk factor is present. Additionally,
oxygenation as measured by a partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) to the fraction
of inspired oxygen (FIO2) is equivalent to between 200 and 300 mm Hg with positive
end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of at
least 5 cm of water (Ranieri VM et al., JAMA. 2012;307(23):2526-2533).;
