Acute Respiratory Failure
Aims and Mission
The Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) section's goal is to support and contribute to research and educational activities in pathophysiology, diagnostics, and therapy of acute respiratory failure.
These aims have previously mainly been executed by organising ARF sessions at the annual meetings. As this continues to be an important mission, the current chair and deputy would like to significantly increase contributions from the members of the ARF section in the congress programme.
Other ARF aims involving support of common research activities, have been difficult to achieve, despite having several different proposed and partly started projects. Our current goal as leaders of the ARF section is to launch at least one major and one minor project during our three year mandate period. It is important to note that this is only possible with active contributions of our members.
