First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

At a recent Editorial Board meeting of Critical Care that was held in conjunction with the International Symposium of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine in Brussels, there was a fairly lively discussion about the Pro–Con section of the journal. Despite data demonstrating that the diverse and provocative Pro–Con debates published over the years have been popular, there was a sense they could offer more to our readership. As a result we decided to embark on a makeover for the section that finds its beginnings in the present edition of Critical Care.
