Abstract
OLB in ARDS is a potentially productive procedure that provides a specific diagnosis and leads to a change in management in high proportions of patients. ARDS has a high mortality rate, which OLB does not appear to increase. Owing to a lack of randomized controlled trials, a survival advantage of OLB in ARDS could not be demonstrated.
