Emphasis was placed on sepsis especially the coagulation cascade prognosis and resuscitation. The papers highlighted important aspects of the pathophysiology of coagulation and inflammation in sepsis as well as dealing with the proper use of newly developed compounds. Several aspects of prognosis in critically ill patients were investigated focusing on biological markers and clinical indexes. Resuscitation received great attention dealing with the effects of fluid infusion in hemodynamics and the lung. The information obtained can be used to address unknown effects of established therapies to enlighten current clinical discussion on controversial topics and to introduce novel medical resources and strategies. Future clinical work will rely heavily on these preclinical and laboratory data. Introduction During 2005 Critical Care published several original papers dealing with resource management.
