Review Practice GuidelineScandinavian clinical practice guideline on choice of fluid in resuscitation of critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure.
The task force on Acute Circulatory Failure of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine produced this guideline with recommendations concerning the use of crystalloid vs. colloid solutions in adult critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure. ⋯ We recommend using crystalloid solutions rather than colloid solutions for resuscitation in the majority of critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure.

Review Practice GuidelineScandinavian clinical practice guideline on mechanical ventilation in adults with the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The objective of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) task force on mechanical ventilation in adults with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is to formulate treatment recommendations based on available evidence from systematic reviews and randomised trials. ⋯ We strongly recommend pressure- and volume limitation and suggest using higher PEEP and prone ventilation in patients with severe respiratory failure.
