The International Fluid Academy (IFA) was founded in 2011 during the 1st International Fluid Academy Day (iFAD) meeting by international physicians and intensivists who recognized the need for a cohesive approach to promoting research and fostering education on fluid management and monitoring.
The mission of the IFA is to foster education and to promote research on fluid management and monitoring in critically ill and other patients, thereby improving the survival of patients by bringing together physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and others from a variety of clinical disciplines.
This can be achieved by collaborative research projects, surveys, guideline development, joint data registration, and international exchange of health care workers and researchers.
The International Fluid Academy (IFA) envisions a world where optimal fluid management is universally recognized as a cornerstone of patient care. Through its commitment to education, research, and collaboration, the IFA strives to identify, recognize, and support the development of Centers of Excellence in Fluid Stewardship (CEFS) programs worldwide. These programs will set the gold standard in fluid management practices, combining research, evidence-based guidelines, and multidisciplinary approaches to improve patient outcomes. By fostering a global network of CEFS, the IFA aims to elevate the quality of care, inspire innovation, and empower healthcare professionals to lead advancements in fluid management.
