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.

If you are interested in getting involved in the ARF section activities, please contact the Deputy Chair, Luigi Camporota.

Due to the exceptional situation we are facing because of the Covid-19 outbreak and the travel restrictions in place, all face-to-face Section meetings in March 2020 have been cancelled.

These might be replaced by teleconferences, organised by the Section Chairs/Deputies (more information will follow in the coming days).

The next face to face meeting will take place at LIVES 2020 in Madrid (10-14 October 2020).
