      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: A total of 30 patients (15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group) are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group receives a single intravenous dose of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-Exos) at 5×10¹⁰ particles in 2–5 mL PBS along with standard care. The control group receives a placebo (PBS of equal volume) along with standard care. Randomization is block-stratified, and the study is double-blind, so patients, investigators, and outcome assessors are unaware of group allocation. Intervention 2: Control group: Conventional treatments used in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.</i_freetext>
