Approach to ARDS - PseudoARDS

A diagnostic/therapeutic strategy for ARDS is suggested, based on the PROSEVA trial (figure below). Initial management includes stabilization on the ventilator and determining how well the patient responds to recruitment.  Patients with persistent severe hypoxemia have true ARDS and may benefit from proning.  Alternatively, patients who improve dramatically with recruitment have pseudoARDS and don't require proning/paralysis.
