AB  - Few  areas  of  critical  care  medicine  have  been  the  subject  of  as  much  investigative  attention  or  clinical  concern  as  the  set  of  problems  grouped  under  the  label  acute  respiratory  distress  syndrome  (ARDS).  This  syndrome,  first  formally  described  in  1967,1  continues  to  be  recognized  clinically  as  a  rapidly  developing  impairment  of  pulmonary  oxygen  exchange  accompanied  by  diffuse  infiltrates  and  altered  respiratory  system  mechanics  that  cannot  be  attributed  solely  to  hydrostatic  forces.  Fueled  by  better  characterization  of  innate  pathophysiology  and  of  iatrogenic  factors,  considerable  progress  has  been  made  in  recent  years  toward  reducing  the  adverse  consequences  of  this  condition.  Yet,  after  more  than  four  decades,  active  debate  continues  regarding  key  elements  of  the  ventilatory  prescription  and  appropriate  therapeutic  targets.
