SCCM Pod-138 CCM: Understanding Critical Care Trial Design

Better understanding of important aspects of trial design and interpretation, such as whether patients enrolled in both intervention arms were comparable and whether the primary outcome of the trial is clinically important, will assist the bedside clinician in determining whether to apply the findings from the clinical study into clinical practice.
