Why is it important?

1. The simple high-frequency power of heart rate variability measures can be used to predict the development and outcome of post-operative patients with ARDS. 2. Anti-cholinergic agent might be tried in ARDS patients.

Perspectives

A new aspect of prognosis and treatment of ARDS is opened.
