ALI/ARDS Clinical Sub-phenotyping Study

"Peripheral venous blood will be collected and stored from the study participants at a total of five time points: Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 after admission to the ICU, and the day of ICU discharge/death. The collection will be conducted after assessing the patients' eligibility for ARDS diagnosis. Each time point will involve the collection of one tube of peripheral venous blood, totaling 5 mL per sample.~Within 24 hours after patients' admission to the ICU and meeting the assessment criteria for ARDS diagnosis, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) will be collected and retained, totaling 10 mL."
