General description
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a form of inflammatory lung injury associated with high mortality. ARDS and its severity grading are defined mainly by the P/F ratio, also known as the Horovitz index, which is calculated by dividing the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) with the inspired oxygen concentration (FiO₂) and represents a measure of hypoxemia.
The 2012 Berlin definition of ARDS recognizes 3 grades of ARDS severity: mild (P/F ratio 201–300 mmHg), moderate (P/F ratio 101–200 mmHg), and severe (P/F ratio ≤ 100 mmHg), each associated with considerably increased mortality (27 %, 32 %, and 45 % respectively). As P/F ratio can be markedly affected by the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), a minimum level of PEEP (≥ 5 cm H₂O) was also included in the definition of ARDS.
