Han pasado 50 años desde la descripción original del síndrome de distrés respiratorio o síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda (SDRA), los avances desde el punto de vista fisiopatológico son inmensos, desgraciadamente la letalidad ha tenido poca variación, por ello sigue siendo importante difundir el conocimiento requerido para lograr el diagnóstico y tratamiento adecuados.
