Section 1. Respiratory support in the critically ill Oxygen: the elixir of life or a double-edged sword? The hypoxic drive: an urban legend? Lung protective ventilation strategies in acute respiratory distress syndrome Non-invasive ventilation in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure High-flow nasal cannula Titration of positive end-expiratory pressure by the bedside The role of recruitment maneuvers in acute respiratory distress syndrome Patient self-inflicted lung injury Prone ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome Neuromuscular blocking drugs in acute respiratory distress syndrome Ventilator-associated pneumonia: newer outlook Is hypercapnia harmful during lung-protective ventilation Tracheostomy: timing it right Diaphragmatic dysfunction in critical illness Weaning from mechanical ventilation How to decannulate a tracheostomy Thrombolysis in acute pulmonary embolism Section 2. Shock and circulatory support Steroids in septic shock Hyperlactatemia in sepsis Permissive hypotension in trauma Assessment of volume responsiveness Are we done with early goal-directed therapy? Normal saline vs. balanced crystalloid as resuscitation fluid Liberal vs. conservative fluid resuscitation strategy in septic shock Epinephrine in cardiopulmonary resuscitation Targeted temperature management vs. hypothermia after cardiac arrest Section 3. Acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy Augmented renal clearance in the critically ill Renal replacement therapy: timing it right Dosing of renal replacement therapy Anticoagulation during renal replacement therapy: heparin vs. citrate Continuous vs. intermittent renal replacement therapy Section 4. Neurocritical care ICP monitoring: does it impact clinical outcomes? Decompressive craniectomy in traumatic brain injury Salt or sugar for the swollen brain?

The gut and nutrition Abdominal compartment syndrome Interruption of enteral feeds in the ICU Location of feeds: gastric vs. post pyloric Enteral feeds: how early? Permissive underfeeding Enteral vs. parenteral nutrition Stress ulcer prophylaxis in the ICU Section 7. Infections and antibiotic therapy How to cope multi-drug resistance How early should antibiotics be administered in sepsis? De-escalation of antibiotic therapy Aerosolized antibiotics Is procalcitonin level useful in the critically ill? Selective digestive decontamination: helpful or harmful? Section 8.
