The latest issue of Critical Care features 10 free review articles co-published as part
of a joint effort with the Springer Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency
Medicine.  The articles were selected by
Editor-in-Chief Prof Jean-Louis Vincent, Belgium, for their relevance to health
care professionals and researchers working in the area of intensive care
medicine. Contributions include a paper by Julia Wendon and colleagues, King’s
College Hospital, UK, on renal dysfunction in liver disease; the prevention of infections
caused by catheters written by Olivier Mimoz’s group, Centre Hospitalier
Universitaire, France, and venous oxygen as a physiological transfusion trigger
by Editorial Board member Benoit Vallet et
al, University Hospital of Lille, France.

The Yearbook compiles the most recent
developments in experimental and clinical research and practice in one
comprehensive reference book.   By
co-publishing these selected articles, we hope to bring this resource to a
wider audience of intensivists. Review articles published in Critical Care normally require a
subscription to read. In order to access our reviews, commentaries and other
commissioned content, non-subscribers to can register for a free 30-day trial.
