Year in review 2006: Critical Care – paediatrics

Authors: Carolina F Amoretti, Robert C Tasker

Published in: Critical Care | Issue 4/2007

Abstract

In 2006, paediatric intensive care-related subjects were discussed in a number of papers published in various journals, including Critical Care. Because they focused on the cardiovascular system and its support, we summarize them here. In particular, these papers highlighted the management of refractory septic shock, extracorporeal support, outcome markers in sepsis, and outcome after cardiac arrest.
