Abstract

This review summarizes key research papers published in the fields of cardiology and intensive care during 2005 in Critical Care. The papers have been grouped into categories: haemodynamic monitoring; goal-directed therapy; cardiac enzymes and critical care; metabolic considerations in cardiovascular performance; thrombosis prevention; physiology; and procedures and techniques.
