Ventilator-associated lung injury and inflammation can occur even during short-term mismanagement can worsen patient outcomes. 4 Using factors such as shock, pneumonia, and sepsis this score allows an accurate prediction of developing ARDS. This is a critical error that leads to poorer outcomes for patients in need of critical care.
