Overview
According to the Berlin Definition, ARDS may be classified by the severity of oxygenation deficit into three subtypes: mild, moderate, and severe.
Classification
ARDS may be classified according to the 2012 Berlin Definition (also known as the Berlin Criteria or the Berlin Definition) into three subtypes: mild, moderate, and severe. These levels of severity are based on the degree to which oxygenation relative to the amount of supplemental oxygen is being delivered to the patient via positive pressure ventilation. These levels also serve as a means of risk-stratifying patients, as each level is associated with a different mortality risk based on pooled data from a large patient population with ARDS.[1]
