Over the world, millions of individuals are affected by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and it is the leading cause of mortality in intensive care units (ICUs). ARDS epidemiology surveys have not received much attention in India. The fatality rate from ARDS among ICU patients in India varies greatly (22-100%), as shown by epidemiological studies done in Inore, Delhi, Lucknow and other regional cities. High death rates persist despite recent improvements in critical care models. Thus, ARDS remains a challenge for the field of critical care medicine.
