Since 1990, ESICM has been committed to producing guidelines and consensus statements from colleagues within the society as well as in collaboration with other international societies to provide the best quality evidence for clinicians at the bedside. These manuscripts have been published in the journal Intensive Care Medicine and other leading journals (endorsement from ESICM does not imply automatic acceptance for publication in ICM journal).
If you wish to propose guidelines or consensus statements, please send the application form to research@esicm.org and we will forward your request to the Chair of the Guidelines Group.
At the end of 2020, the ESICM Executive Committee decided to initiate the development of guidelines. The society is fortunate enough to benefit from the expertise of renowned specialists and leaders in a substantial variety of topics in intensive care. Therefore it was decided to make a selection and to begin with four guidelines on ultrasound, antimicrobial, fluids and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
