failure requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) are unknown …

Purpose This study described the acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) population
and identified potential modifiable markers of outcome. Methods A prospective, multicenter …

Rationale: Clinicians' current practice patterns in the management of acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS) and refractory hypoxemia are not well described. Objectives: To …

Background Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) and acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS) are associated with high in-hospital mortality. However, in cohorts of …

ARDS is characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure, which can be refractory and life-
threatening. Modifications to traditional mechanical ventilation and nontraditional modes of …

Background Patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in the intensive care unit (ICU)
are treated with supplemental oxygen, but the benefits and harms of different oxygenation …
