About this trial
We attempt to perform dynamic endotyping of critically ill patients presenting in the emergency department with de novo acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). We also attempt to identify what clinical, radiological, physiological and biological variables collected early in the course of AHRF correlate with subsequent mortality and/or persistent severe hypoxemia.
