Critical Care Horizons is fresh voice in critical care publishing, offering thought-provoking, cutting-edge commentary and opinion papers, state-of-the-art review articles, and research protocols. As a Journal we see discussion, commentary, and the sharing of insight, experience and ideas as central to clinical progress in our speciality. As a platinum (universal) open access journal, we are free to publish with and free to read, opening authorship up to all working with the critically ill. We are driven by a desire to improve the care we offer our patients, and operate without financial aim or incentive. We strive to be different, combining the rapidity, broad exposure, and dynamic discussion characteristic of social media with the academic standards of an indexed, peer-reviewed journal. Covering the full spectrum of clinical care, we welcome submissions from all disciplines involved in the care of the critically ill and injured, from pre-hospital resuscitation to Emergency Department care to ICU-based management to post-discharge follow-up, and anywhere else.
