ARDSnet

ARDSnet, or the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network, is a research group focused on studying Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a serious condition where the lungs can't provide enough oxygen to the body. They conduct clinical trials to improve treatment strategies for ARDS patients, particularly using different types of ventilation techniques and fluid management. Their findings help establish best practices for healthcare professionals, ultimately aiming to enhance patient outcomes and reduce complications associated with this critical illness.
