The Critical Care Reviews meeting has evolved. Following this year's presentation of the ADRENAL trial results, #CCR19 will include both first result presentations and discussions of the best critical care trials of 2018 with their chief investigators. Next year's meeting is on January 17th & 18th 2019, at Titanic, Belfast.
The Critical Care Reviews Book 2018, summarising, critiquing and putting in context the best critical care trials of 2017, has just been released. We cover almost 30 trials in depth, another 30 in summary and tens of open access guidelines. This book is available as a free pdf download or at minimal cost for a print version. Critical Care Reviews is a not-for-profit.
The podcast is the latest addition to the Critical Care Reviews Project. Trials both in progress and recently published are discussed and critiqued in detail. Study investigators explain the rationale for their trials, the strengths and weaknesses of their work and what the next step is likely to be. If you like to listen to critical care podcasts, add this one to your list.

Interventions affecting larger numbers of patients are likely to rank higher than niche interventions. What's your top 10?
No other website provides a continuously updated list of the hottest critical care articles that you should be aware of.

We've fixed this problem for you too.....
Guidelines are an excellent synthesis of the available evidence in a field. Love them or hate them, they are always worth reading and frequently provide points of controversy, especially for areas deficient in evidence (and no, expert opinion isn't evidence). Sit back and enjoy the the most comprehensive collection of critical care guidelines available.
