Abstract: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the presence of hypoxia not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on chest imaging. The syndrome has mortality varying from 20% to 40% and emphasizes medical burden globally. Therefore the early recognition and quantification of lung edema is important to establish the correct treatment. Several investigational modalities are potentially helpful in recognition of ARDS, such as chest radiography, chest computed tomography, thoracic ultrasonography, thermo dilution etc.,
