When controversies arise in critical care, we rely on the best-quality evidence to guide our decisions. What do we do when we have conflicting data? This session will attempt to answer that question through the lens of landmark studies and will offer insights on how to make sense of these data.

Presentations:

• Protocolized Care in Sepsis: EGDT and ProCESS, ProMISe, and ARISE
• Is It SMART to Give Balanced Crystalloids or Are We Still SPLIT on the BaSICS of Fluid?
• How Should I Make Sense of All These Conflicting Studies?
