Critical Care
The Critical Care Specialty Group is one of 24
Specialty Groups which provide national networks
of topic-specific expertise. These groups are key to
the success of the CCRN. They work at both national
and local levels to ensure the successful delivery of
research within their specialties. This means ensuring
that studies are delivered to target and on time.
The remit of the Critical Care Specialty Group is to support a national portfolio of high quality research studies relating to the care of critically ill patients. The research relates primarily to intensive care, high dependency care and acute medical care.
We support researchers to deliver high quality studies to time and target in the NHS. We do this by engaging with the existing research community and developing the research infastructure locally.
Some key themes of studies on the critical care portfolio are:
- Interventions to improve outcomes from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis
- Understanding the long term implications of critical illness and how to improve recovery
- The mechanisms and management of brain injury
- Developing risk models to guide intensive care treatments for common conditions or complications
- Minimising risk and morbidity associated with major surgery.
