Acute respiratory distress syndrome phenotypes: implications for diagnosis and treatment
Symposium Chairs: L. Heunks (Amsterdam, Netherlands), A. Simonds (London, United Kingdom)
Aims: To describe heterogeneity in the pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); to describe biological and morphological subphenotypes of ARDS and the implications for patient management; to describe treatable traits in ARDS; to explain the relationship between biological and physiological variation and optimal patient management.
