    AbstractThe treatment of acute lung injury is one of the most challenging tasks in intensive care medicine. Conventional therapeutic options cover lung protective mechanical ventilation with low tidal volumes and adequate PEEP, restrictive fluid management, prone positioning, and early recruitment maneuvers. These options should be used in parallel and should be accompanied by a suitable anti-infective therapy. In cases of refractory hypoxemia, inhaled nitric oxide offers in most patients a successful rescue option. In specialized centers the application of ECMO remains as a final ultima ratio.
