The present review concluded remarkable globe clinical achievements in the field of critical care medicine during 2013. Briefly, new international sepsis management guideline, high frequency oscillatory ventilation, hydroxyethyl starch, immune-nutritional therapy, fecal transplantation and infection controlling became the highlighting topics. Additionally, it is also worthy to note the apparent disparity in the results between meta-analyses suggesting a treatment advantage and following large-scale randomized trials that have failed to detect such differences in treatment outcomes. Nonetheless, we still expect the emerging of ongoing investigations may provide clarity in these area..
