- Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) may benefit mortality and complications in adult ARDS patients.
- Guidelines provide two conditional recommendations: use NMBAs in adults with ARDS (PaO2/FiO2 < 150) and equipoise on titratable vs. fixed-dose NMBA.
- A 21-member multidisciplinary expert panel followed GRADE methodology for evidence-based recommendations.
- Institutional and patient-specific factors should guide NMBA use in ARDS.
- Conflict-of-interest policies were strictly enforced during guideline development.
