Abstract:
Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) refers to acute progressive respiratory failure with stubborn hypoxemia induced by different predisposing factors except cardiogenic causes. The definition of ALI/ARDS have been renewed and standardized in recent years, thus there is a new understanding in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS. The new diagnostic criteria and the combining therapeutic measures of ALI/ARDS have been proposed. With the progress in research pertaining to ALI/ARDS and the new insight into the pathogenesis of intractable systemic inflammation, new therapeutic measures directing at controlling and regulating inflammatory responses may be expected to achieve a breakthrough in the treatment of ALI/ARDS.
