The overall objective of this study is to prospectively determine the epidemiology of children with PARDS and describe its management in Asia. The first specific aim is to determine the prevalence of PARDS among PICU admissions. This will be achieved by establishing a systematic manner of screening patients and including them in this study. The second specific aim is to describe the use of pulmonary and non-pulmonary therapies in PARDS. This study will utilize an established dataset to extract pertinent and analyzable clinical data.The third specific aim is to determine the outcome of patients with PARDS. These outcomes will include functional data, PICU mortality, ventilator duration and length of stay data. This is a two-part study - the first part established the baseline prevalence and ventilator management strategies, the second part (to be registered separately) will include the intervention of a ventilation protocol.
