Official Title: Consensus Statements on the Utility of Defining ARDS and the Utility of Past and Current Definitions of ARDS--Protocol for a Delphi Study
Brief Summary: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), marked by acute hypoxemia and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, has undergone multiple definitions over the years.
Challenges persist regarding the ARDS definitions, leading to various revisions.
Through the Delphi study, the investigators aims to gather global opinions on the conceptual framework of ARDS, assess the utility of current and past definitions, and explore the role of subphenotyping.
The diverse panel's collective expertise will contribute valuable insights for refining future ARDS definitions and enhancing clinical management.
