“…Lack of recognition by treating clinicians may result in the appropriate treatment being commenced too late, or not at all. In a recent study, only 31·3% of patients who fulfilled both clinical and pathological diagnoses of ARDS had any mention of ARDS in their clinical notes (Fröhlich et al , ). The investigators concluded that not only is ARDS under‐recognized by clinicians in ICU but also that ARDS diagnosis does not result always in lower TV ventilation, as they found that those with a clinical diagnosis, when corrected for body weight, were ventilated with higher TV (6·8 versus 6·7 mL/kg) and had higher PEEP and mean airway pressures.…”

“…However, among patients who receive low TV ventilation, mortality rates remain high, so additional treatments for ARDS are needed (Walkey et al, 2012). Reports also suggest that ARDS is still under-diagnosed in clinical practice (Fröhlich et al, 2013).…”

“…In patients with known ARDS, lung protective ventilation has proven benefit (2, 3), but evidence suggests that many patients for which this therapy would be appropriate are not receiving it (4, 5). Whether a diagnosis of ARDS affects what therapies the patient receives is also unclear, emphasizing the need for further epidemiologic data on this condition.…”

“…For example, surveillance criteria may rely on objective documentation of mechanical ventilation as a respiratory organ dysfunction versus a clinical diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), 21 as the latter may suffer from poor inter-rater, meta-, and test-re-test reliability. 2225 This approach would promote benchmarking of doctors and hospital care of patients thought to be septic during routine clinical care. Audit may also occur across large populations of hospitals and patients, such that ease of measurement, cost, and burden gain importance.…”
