Overview
While there are no ways to screen for ARDS, the diagnosis should be pursued in any patient with new-onset hypoxemia, an increasing supplemental oxygen requirement, and bilateral infiltrates on chest X-ray.
Screening
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.
