title: [Respiratory resuscitation in Quebec. General aspects and implications of pneumologists in intensive care units in "New France"].
abstract: ICU set up is a complex framework in Québec. In this respect, quebecer and french systems are very different. Pulmonologists are one of the most committed sub-specialists in ICUs, either as consultant or as MD on duty. Amongst paramedics, respiratory therapists are essential members of the team. Invasive and noninvasive ventilations are commonly performed. Critical care teaching program and structures for developing and supporting clinical research activities are in place.
