Abstract
The Round Table on Acute Lung Injury proved a stimulating forum for the interchange of ideas regarding the state of the field and afforded many opportunities for scientific interaction - both during and outside the formal program. The participants are indebted to the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine and to the American Thoracic Society for their sponsorship, as well as to the local organizing committee and secretariat for coordinating a professionally valuable and memorable educational event.
