Critical Care London 2015

In 2010, David Bennett and Andy Rhodes set up an annual academic meeting in London. Their idea was to present and discuss controversies and innovations in intensive care medicine. The size and format of the meeting is designed to encourage thoughtful debate. For this, our sixth meeting, we have asked the faculty of speakers to each write a book chapter that complements their invited presentation. The topics covered include state of the art reviews on cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and brain pathophysiology and ICU management, together with insightful commentaries on quality improvement, blood transfusion and the recent Ebola epidemic.
