Critical care encompasses a wide array of disease states with ever-changing, conflicting literature. As clinicians, it is important to be knowledgeable of seminal landmark trials, but also be familiar with the most cutting-edge pivotal trials.

ICU Trials by ClinCalc is a quick pocket reference for both the novice and seasoned ICU clinician. This app does not replace the original manuscript of these landmark trials – instead, it serves as a fast reference and learning tool for some of the most important critical care trials over a wide range of specialties.

Reviews of ICU Trials

outstanding. one of a kind

As an academic intensivist, I have been desperately looking for an app like this for quite some time. I very much like the professional way in which these ICU trials are presented. I will definitely use at the bedside as part of teaching rounds. I look forward to updates. This app is definitely worth a look if you are involved in ICU care.
