The acute Respirartory Distress Syndrome internationally known as ARDS is presented as a complication or motive of hospitalization in more than 60 % of the patients admitted to hospital in Intensive Care Units. It was described with its present characteritics by Ashbaugh DG in 1967, and since then it has been subject to sustained clinical researches. However, it has a mortality rate of over 50 %, and it is still one of the topics of major interest in published studies on the patient critical condition.
The evaluation of results of regimen used require a precise image deagnosis head of bed whose mobilization and transfer generate potentionally prohibitive risks. In the following research paper, a scheme of diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of ARDS is proposed, sample toracic x-rays filming correspond to studies carried out at the Ciego de Avila "Antonio Luaces Iraola" Hospital and the tomography studies to unpublished images, personal courtesy of Professor Marcello Britto Passos Amato, Intensive Respiratory Care Unit, Sao Paulo University, Brazil.
