Critical care medicine: insights from the American Thoracic Society 2016 Annual Meeting

The American Thoracic Society 2016 Annual Meeting featured exciting research studies in critical care medicine. Recently, researchers tried to answer the question about the appropriate timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the ICU and we saw an exponential growth of interest in long-term outcomes of ICU survivors. We discuss five of the studies discussed at ATS and their impact on critical care management.
