Featured Review: The critical care management of poorgrade subarachnoid haemorrhage
The aim of this article, from de Oliveira Manoel et al., is to provide a summary of critical
care management strategies applied to the subarachnoid haemorrhage population, especially for
patients in poor neurological condition, on the basis of the modern concepts of early brain injury
and delayed cerebral ischaemia.
Society affiliation
Critical Care is affiliated with The International Symposium on Intensive Care and
Emergency Medicine (ISICEM).
ISICEM is held every March and is organised by the Departments of Intensive Care and
Emergency Medicine of Erasme University Hospital, Université Libre de Bruxelles, in
association with the Belgian Society of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (SIZ).
Featured series
The progressive loss of antibiotic activity as a result of dissemination of antibacterial resistance
genes is increasingly recognized as global threat to humankind. Critical Care introduces a series
of papers that examine the problem of progressive antibiotic resistance in the ICU. These articles
will focus on the mechanisms of resistance, spread of antibiotic resistance genes, efforts to limit
the further spread of MDR pathogens, and novel current and future therapeutic approaches to
respond to the challenge of antibiotic resistance. We hope this series will inform the clinician
about steps that we can take to confront the threat of antibiotic resistance.
