Overview

There are no screening tools for ARDS. The best way to make an early diagnosis of ARDS is to apply the diagnostic criteria to any patient with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on chest x ray, and new/worsening hypoxemia with an increasing supplemental oxygen requirement in whom a potential cause or risk factor for ARDS exists.

Screening

Several clinical algorithms have been proposed and validated for early recognition of ARDS. No single biomarker is currently specific or sensitive enough to be incorporated into routine clinical practice.
