ICMx Journal
In response to the need for a dedicated platform for important experimental research, ESICM created Intensive Care Medicine Experimental (ICMx) in 2013.
ICMx is the second official journal of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine and is dedicated to experimental and pre-clinical research in intensive care medicine. The journal is steadily growing in terms of submissions and the number of citations.
600 citations were recorded in the last 18 months and some of the papers have been cited in high-ranking reviews – from pharmacology and physiology publications to others beyond the domain of intensive care medicine.
The geographical spread of submissions is very broad and includes Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada and the US. We are always keen to receive basic and experimental intensive care research and ESICM members receive a 40% discount on article processing fees.

Two stimulating ICM Experimental Sessions were included in the programme at LIVES 2019.
Prof. Peter Radermacher tells more in this icTV interview…
The first focused on aspects of multiple organ dysfunction and the second – the “hot” topic of immunometabolism and the connection between mitochondria and the function of immuno-cells.
Both sessions were of particular interest to experimentally-working doctors, as well as clinicians.
