Abstract

This issue presents a collection of papers reporting primary research, literature reviews and practice development in various countries and in diverse critical care settings. The topics cover a range of clinical interventions in adult, paediatric and neonatal critical care units. A common element underpinning these studies is an unrelenting focus on patient safety; a cornerstone of high-quality critical care practice, be it a routine procedure like blood sampling or a more complex treatment modality like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
