title: Intensive respiratory care service--our eight-year experience.
abstract: Intensive respiratory care service has come a long way from the beginning in Scandinavia in early 1952. Intensive care service (IRCU) was started at our institute in 1983 as tetanus and respiratory care ward which has developed into Department of respiratory diseases over years. We are reporting our experience of 886 cases of acute respiratory failure (ARF) treated from Jan, 1983 upto April 1990.
