2012, Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical CareCitation Excerpt :However, despite numerous disappointments of large multi-centre trials in critical care, one must consider the major contribution of these large RCTs and subsequent systematic reviews since they have provided us with valuable information on the adverse effects of for instance overtreatment in ICU (i.e., high tidal volume ventilation, high calorie intake, high degree of sedation and liberal transfusion strategies).56–59 To this date, interventions such as early appropriate antibiotic treatment of bloodstream infection, surgical infectious source removal in sepsis, enteral nutrition, weaning from mechanical ventilation, early mobilisation and early volume resuscitation in sepsis have been significantly more superior to many of the immuno-modulatory interventions such as APC, Antithrombin III, Centoxin, tight glycaemic control and steroids.11,53,55,59–63 In order to improve outcomes of ICU patients, not only is there a need for better understanding of the underlying patho-physiological processes and mechanisms of actions, but there is also a continuous need for high quality, large clinical trials in accordance to CONSORT statement, high quality systematic reviews adhering to PRISMA guidelines and updated and low-bias international guidelines.
