TL;DR: Clinicians managing patients with ARDS should personalize decisions for their patients, particularly regarding the conditional recommendations in this guideline, which is strong for mechanical ventilation using lower tidal volumes and lower inspiratory pressures.

TL;DR: Raising awareness of post–intensive care syndrome for the public and both critical care and non–critical care clinicians will inform a more coordinated approach to treatment and support during recovery after critical illness.

TL;DR: Opportunities to improve critical care trials are identified using strategies to optimize sample size calculations, account for patient and disease heterogeneity, increase the efficiency of trial conduct, maximize the use of trial data, and to refine and standardize the collection of patient-centered and patient-informed outcome measures beyond mortality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized workshop discussions, recommendations, and unresolved questions for advancing precision medicine in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and highlighted the urgent need for precision therapies for ARDS as the global scientific community grapples with many of the key concepts, innovations, and challenges discussed at the workshop.

TL;DR: Patients who experience critical illness may experience a loss of humanity in the process, including the loss of personal identity, control, respect, privacy, and support systems, and is referred to as dehumanization.
