LUNG SAFE: Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE
LUNG SAFE (Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE) is a multicentre, prospective, observational, 4-week inception cohort study, which has been carried out by the Acute Respiratory Failure section through the ESICM Trials Group. The study aimed to prospectively assess the burden of, management and therapeutic approaches to, and outcomes from acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support, with a specific focus on ARDS as defined by the Berlin Definition.
