We thank Luigi Pisani and colleagues for their comments about our paper on the Montreux definition,¹ asking is Montreux closer to Berlin than Kigali? The Berlin and Kigali definitions of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) differ on three diagnostic criteria: blood gas data, positive end-expired pressure, and imaging.² The use of saturation is not possible in neonates because fetal haemoglobin concentrations are extremely variable.¹ The Montreux definition did not include positive end-expired pressure, but is based on the oxygenation index.

肺部超声检查和新生儿ARDS：蒙特勒离柏林比基加利更近吗？–作者的答复

我们感谢Luigi Pisani及其同事对我们有关蒙特勒定义的论文发表的评论，¹问蒙特勒比基加利离柏林更近吗？柏林和基加利对急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）的定义在以下三个诊断标准上有所不同：血气数据，呼气末正压和影像学。²由于胎儿血红蛋白的浓度变化很大，因此无法在新生儿中使用饱和度。¹蒙特勒的定义不包括呼气末正压，而是基于氧合指数。
