Year in review 2007: Critical Care--multiple organ failure and sepsis

James M O'Brien Jr et al. Crit Care. 2008.

Abstract

Several research papers published in Critical Care throughout 2007 examined the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of sepsis and multiorgan failure. The present review summarizes the findings and implications of the papers published on sepsis and multiorgan failure and places the research in the context of other work in the field.
