【医学英语延伸阅读】

Patients who survive ARDS are at high risk for cognitive decline, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and persistent skeletal-muscle weakness. A much better understanding of the biologic and genetic underpinnings of the subphenotypes of ARDS should lead the way to more targeted therapies. Until then, ICU practices that prevent ARDS, early and effective treatment of the insults leading to ARDS, and lung-protective ventilation and sensible fluid management remain the essential elements for good outcomes.
