ARDS: New Global Definition, Current Therapies, and Implementing Precision Critical Care

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains a leading cause of critical illness worldwide. This Grand Rounds will review the new global definition of ARDS and highlight current evidence-based approaches to care. Speakers will discuss emerging research on molecular phenotypes and explore how advances in precision critical care may shape future clinical trials and patient outcomes.
