Treatment of Sepsis in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

This protocol addresses sepsis complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) — severe respiratory failure that develops as a direct consequence of the septic process. The presence of ARDS substantially shapes the ventilatory management strategy for these patients.

Ventilatory management in sepsis-induced ARDS involves specific positioning techniques as a key evidence-based intervention. The full structured regimen — including all applicable interventions, their sequencing, and graded evidence — is available in the complete protocol.
