[Course of the anaesthesiology and intensive care unit residents in Lorraine, France].
The anaesthesiology and intensive care physician demography is becoming critical in most French regions; more than 56% of the residents trained in Lorraine are leaving the area after they graduate. ⋯ Desired improvements would be: better performance of the Lorraine born students at the National Medical Examination, earlier and well-defined job offers, better communication within the team and consideration of the family situation as a whole.

Review[Microcirculatory alterations in critically ill patients: pathophysiology, monitoring and treatments].
Microcirculation represents a complex system devoted to provide optimal tissue substrates and oxygen. Therefore, pathophysiological and technological knowledge developments tailored for capillary circulation analysis should generate major advances for critically ill patients' management. In the future, microcirculatory monitoring in several critical care situations will allow recognition of macro-microcirculatory decoupling, and, hopefully, it will promote the use of treatments aimed at preserving tissue oxygenation and substrate delivery.
