AB In  1967,  Ashbaugh  et  al.1  described  a  syndrome  characterized  by  the  acute  onset  of  dyspnea,  severe  hypoxemia,  diffuse  lung  infiltrates,  and  decreased  respiratory  system  compliance  in  the  absence  of  evidence  for  congestive  heart  failure  (CHF).  The  syndrome,  initially  called  acute  respiratory  distress  in  adults  (to  contrast  it  with  acute  respiratory  distress  in  neonates),  is  now  known  as  the  acute  respiratory  distress  syndrome  (ARDS).  Following  the  initial  report,  other  authors  utilized  various  definitions  that  incorporated  elements  related  to  time  of  onset,  presence  of  hypoxemia  and  radiographic  infiltrates,  and  absence  of  overt  CHF.
