A retrospective analysis of the epidemiology and intensive care treatment of ARDS in Iceland during the 10 year period, 1988-1997 with observation of trends within the period. ⋯ The incidence of ARDS in a well defined population of Iceland is lower than recent studies in USA and Europe have shown or 5.9 cases/100.00/year but is increasing. The mortality is 40% and shows a slight downward trend, which may be due to the use of lung protective ventilation.
