Abstract

In the most severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), additional strategies seem necessary to prevent additional lung injury, life threatening hypoxemia, and fatal outcomes. In the context of clinical algorithms (Fig. 1) and prospective trials, inhaled vasodilators, partial liquid ventilation, high frequency ventilation, and prone position have been used for this purpose.
