The Journal INTENSIVE CARE MEDICINE

 

Aims and Missions 

The journal Intensive Care Medicine is the official journal of the Society. This is the publication platform for the communication and exchange of current work and ideas in intensive care medicine. It is intended for all those who are involved in intensive medical care, physicians, anaesthetists, surgeons, paediatricians, as well as those concerned with pre-clinical subjects and medical sciences basic to these disciplines.

 

Contents   

 

The journal publishes: review articles reflecting the present state of knowledge in special areas or summarizing limited themes in which discussion has led to clearly defined conclusions; original papers reporting progress and results in all areas of intensive care medicine and its related fields; educational articles giving information on the progress of a topic of particular interest; discussion on technology, methods, new apparatus and modifications of standard techniques; brief reports of uncommon and interesting disorders; correspondence concerning matters of topical interest or relating to published material; and book reviews, reports of meetings, ESICM/ESPNIC guidelines and recommendations and announcements.

The Impact factor has increased from 3.724 in 2005 to 4.623 in 2007. The Journal ICM is ranked no 3 in a list of 18 journals devoted to intensive care medicine. This score reflects the constant efforts of the editors to publish high standard quality manuscripts that are cited world wide.
