Durchatmen? Fehlanzeige! Das akute Lungenversagen (ARDS)

Das akute Lungenversagen ist eine lebensbedrohliche Erkrankung, die mit einer Sterblichkeit von > 40 % der Patienten beschrieben wird. Das frühe Erkennen und der zeitnahe Beginn einer spezifischen Therapie sowie supportiver Maßnahmen können die Letalität entscheidend senken. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Überblick von der Geschichte bis hin zu den aktuellen Behandlungsempfehlungen gegeben.
