Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by many reasons, which is characterized by intractable hypoxemia. Its etiology is complex and its mortality is high. Lung biopsy techniques can give accurate histopathological diagnosis to such patients to guide treatment and improve prognosis. At present, lung biopsy techniques include surgical lung biopsy, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy, transbronchial lung biopsy and percutaneous lung biopsy. The diagnostic rate of surgical lung biopsy is high, but it is traumatic and difficult to implement. The diagnostic rate of transbronchial cryobiopsy is relatively high, and the complications are acceptable. Transbronchial lung biopsy is minimally invasive but the diagnostic rate is low. The diagnostic rate of percutaneous lung biopsy is relatively high, and the complications are relatively few. For patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome who need lung biopsy, it is very important to choose different surgical procedures according to their effectiveness, safety and applicability.
