Year in review 2007: Critical Care--respirology

Lorenzo Del Sorbo, Arthur S Slutsky, Lorenzo Del Sorbo, Arthur S Slutsky

Abstract

All original research contributions published in Critical Care in 2007 in the field of respirology and critical care medicine are summarized in this article. Fifteen papers were grouped in the following categories: acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation, ventilator-induced lung injury, imaging, and other topics.
