How to keep oneself updated in critcal care?

15th January 2009.
Beginning is Half done.
Lets congratulate Amit for his innovative idea of ongoing virtual meeting of like minded people.
It allows us to solve each other's clinical queries.
Let us set the ball rolling.
How one can keep oneself updated in the rapidly evolving field of critical care.
Yesterday's evidence is disproved today,for example hype of Glycemic control.
We have thought of following system.
I consider following journals have maximum impact on critical care practice all over the world.
1.NEJM
2.Intensive care medicine from ESICM
3.Critical care medicine from SCCM.
4.Critical care clinics.
5.Current opinion on critical care.
6.Critical care [Forum]
To some extant JAMA,LANCET,BMJ,CHEST,AJRCCM.
If we designate one journal each to one or two individual ,whose responsibility is to keep track of what is published in each issue and post summary of suggestions .
The suggestions include...worth reading article,breakthrough article,new idea but poor study etc etc.
This will enable all of us to keep updated but saves time of scanning each journal each month.
I will we very happy to know other ideas to get the same level of updates.

    I agree with Anuj, and as per what we had talked earlier it seems thngs are finally getting materialised on the wonderful world of web(www.mahay's pjs!):)

    I will be the first one to take up a journal, and the the Grammy goes to...... Intensive care medicine from ESICM.
