APACHE II = acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II, ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome, ECVVH = early continuous venovenous hemofiltration, EVLWI = extravascular lung water index, FiO₂ = fraction of inspired oxygen, MODS = multiple organ dysfunction score, PaO₂ = arterial partial pressure of oxygen, and SOFA = sequential organ failure assessment.
