Summary

2023 ESICM update of the 2017 ATS/ESICM/SCCM ARDS guideline covering adult patients and non-pharmacological respiratory support (plus neuromuscular blockade) for ARDS including COVID-19 ARDS. The guideline addresses 21 PICO questions across nine domains: definition, phenotyping, HFNO, NIV/CPAP, low tidal volume ventilation, PEEP and recruitment maneuvers, prone positioning, neuromuscular blockade, and extracorporeal life support. New since 2017: explicit recommendations for HFNO over conventional oxygen, awake prone positioning in COVID-19, against routine recruitment maneuvers, and stronger guidance on VV-ECMO in EOLIA-eligible patients.
