The Society of Critical Care Medicine's clinical practice guidelines are evidence-based statements that include recommendations intended to optimize patient care. They are informed by a systematic review of the evidence in published literature and assessment of the benefits and harms of different care options. Other considerations include patient values and preferences, costs, and resources. Guidelines must also be feasible and acceptable by various stakeholders.
The following is a list of SCCM guidelines currently in the development process and their tentative publication years.
All submissions for new guideline topics or updates to previously published guidelines must be submitted through the guideline proposal form.
