Am J Respir Crit Care Med 197(1):132–136. However, the current pandemic, with the sheer number of studies submitted, has put pressure on this system. Appeals [This latter situation carries major risks since rapidly released but inadequately scrutinized data may be perceived as valid study results, and therefore induce changes in clinical practice. In facing the current situation, we critical care journal editors have been trying to balance the need for fast and easy access to new knowledge with our commitment to publishing quality data and unbiased results.

We have also been striving to detect research misconduct and violation of publication ethics.

This consultation process has been undermined by the exponential increase in preprint publications (studies published on free-access archives/sites with only minimal review and no peer review). [ 28 juillet 2020 ] Les bienfaits du canoë sur la santé Conseil [ 26 juillet 2020 ] L’économie du vélo : ... Randonnée VTT et Marche La Laurent Brochard. Following a review process, which must be as rapid as possible, publishers as well as authors should strive to edit their proofs within the shortest possible time. This rush to publish information without adequate peer review has led to the publication of studies that ultimately had to be retracted . You can also search for this author in Wrong estimates of driving pressure and compliance happen in case of airway closure because the alveolar pressure is not measured at the airway opening even after an occlusion [A simple technique to assess complete airway closure is by using the low-flow inflation pressure–volume curve pattern (Fig. In response to the COVID-19 emergency, ‘A Medline search for COVID-19-related literature (May 26, 2020) returned more than 15,500 published papers, including 1,870 in the critical care field. However, editors have nevertheless remained vigilant about study design and the external validity of results, and as knowledge has increased over time, they have become more selective, focusing more on classic research designs, with ethical justification, and the inclusion of coherent standards of care or usual care arms.Editors are responsible for ensuring fair, adequate and speedy reviews of studies at all times. The current epidemic has put severe strain on this system, too, as not only many editors but also reviewers have been kept busy handling the epidemic. Since the mid-1980s, atelectasis has been demonstrated during anesthesia in lung healthy subjects [Airway closure was initially demonstrated (or rather suggested) by single breath tracer gas recordings [Airway closure increases with increasing age, a consequence of loss of elastic tissue in the lung that may produce a positive pleural pressure in dependent regions [There are at least four major consequences of airway closure.
