Abstract
Intensive care does not stand still, and there have been some impressive papers that have appeared since the first edition of this book. The title “classics” clearly implies a paper that is not only important, but “has stood the test of time.” This new edition has given us the opportunity to select a small group of recent papers that are impressive, have the potential to be pivotal in how we view established practice, may alter practice, and may even become genuine classics with time.
