description The acute respiratory distress syndrome patients largely need a mechanical ventilator intervention. There are procedures that have been developed to guide the physicians during the ventilation of the patient. Berlin definition of the acute respiratory distress syndrome has been developed with ventilator adjustment settings/procedures. The procedures may however be a challenge for some physicians to remember during the intense ventilator intervention. Physicians are found to make human errors that may lead to the death of the patient. This, therefore, calls for the need of a logic system that will reason for the physician, that is, guide the physician. A fuzzy logic system was used to build the fuzzy set rules based on the Berlin definition. The MATLAB Simulink was used to simulate the system. The results show that the fuzzy-based ARDS Berlin definition can guide the physician on the adjustments to be made during the ventilation.
