It includes prompt investigation for respiratory infection as a potential etiology for ARDS, the application of mechanical ventilation with a "lung-protective strategy", a rapid confirmatory diagnosis of DAD by surgical lung biopsy, and the early initiation of high-dose pulse steroid therapy. Our diagnostic criteria for AIP were as follows: (1) acute respiratory failure developing within 2 months; (2) the presence of DAD on surgical lung biopsy specimens; (3) the absence of underlying chronic pulmonary disease or previously abnormal chest radiograph findings; (4) the absence of any known inciting event or predisposing condition for ARDS such as respiratory infection, collagen vascular disease, exposure to environmental or occupational toxic agents, drugs, or radiation, and prior interstitial lung disease; and (5) no recent history of shock or use of vasopressors prior to hospital admission.	./cache/cord-331317-q01uos7a.txt	./txt/cord-331317-q01uos7a.txt
