ERS International Congress 2022: highlights from the Respiratory Intensive Care Assembly

Abstract

Early Career Members of Assembly 2 (Respiratory Intensive Care) attended the 2022 European Respiratory Society Annual Congress in Barcelona. The conference covered acute and chronic respiratory failure. Sessions of interest to our Assembly members and to those interested in respiratory critical care included the state-of-the-art session on respiratory critical care, the journal session (ERS/Lancet) on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) phenotyping into precision medicine, specificity of COVID-19 ARDS and its post critical care. A symposium on treatment of acute respiratory failure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and innovations in mechanical ventilation either in intensive care unit or at home were also reported. These sessions are summarized in this article.

ERS International Congress 2023: highlights from the Respiratory Clinical Care and Physiology Assembly

“…In addition to the reports from the other Assemblies [109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121], we hope that the highlights summarised hereinabove will help update readers with the impressive amount of respiratory research and advances in pulmonary clinical care presented through the sessions from ERS Assembly 1 -Respiratory clinical care and physiology, alongside with suggestions for further investigations. We also hope to have encouraged the readership to contribute to Assembly 1 activities, and to take part to the 2024 ERS International Congress to be held in Vienna next September, where further scientific novelties and clinical developments on these topics will be discussed.…”

“…Although the virtual platform allows presentations to be replayed, it can be challenging to keep up to date with all the scientific and clinical advances. That's why, every year, the Early-Career Members Committee coordinates reports summarising the most significant presentations from each Assembly [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. This article, therefore, aims to share some of the highlights from the Respiratory clinical care and physiology assembly.…”

ERS “CONNECT” Clinical Research Collaboration – moving multiple digital innovations towards connected respiratory care: addressing the over-arching challenges of whole systems implementation

“…Digital respiratory care is an ERS priority. No attendee of recent ERS Congresses could miss the accelerating interest in digital health, with sessions focused on digital care, frequent speaker references to digital initiatives, and abstracts describing diverse innovative digital projects [9,10]. An ERS Presidential Summit on "Digital respiratory medicinerealism vs futurism" in 2021 [11], the creation of the mHealth/ eHealth ERS Group [12] and the commissioning of clinical reviews on telehealth [13] all testify to the society's focus on digital respiratory care.…”
